From Wix to Shopify: Why It’s Time to Level Up Your Store
Discover innovative strategies to stand out in the competitive e-commerce landscape of 2025.
Published on May 27, 2025Wix might have helped you start. Shopify will for sure help you scale. If you’re here, you’re probably thinking about levelling up your online store — and yeah, this is your sign.
Let’s break down why thousands of smart creators, fashion founders, beauty brands, and full-blown business owners are jumping ship from Wix to Shopify. Spoiler: it’s not just about better design — it’s about building a brand that can grow without limits 💸.
🚀 Wix Was the Warm-Up
We get it — Wix feels like Canva for websites. It’s fun, drag-and-drop, and gives you that “I built this myself!” moment. Perfect for launching your brand and getting those first few sales.
- ⛔️ You hit limits fast.
- 🛠 You start needing real tools.
- 📲 You want to sell on TikTok, Insta, Pinterest or Amazon.
- 🧾 You want checkouts that actually convert.
Enter: Shopify.
🔥 Why Shopify Is Built for Growth
1. It’s Made to Sell
Shopify is built for commerce — from product pages to checkout. Everything is optimised to convert. That’s why brands like Glossier, SKIMS, and Kylie Cosmetics run on Shopify.
2. It Grows With You
Wix starts to creak as you grow. Shopify doesn’t flinch — whether you sell 1 product or 10,000.
3. TikTok + Insta + Amazon = 💯
Shopify integrates natively with TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Amazon, eBay, YouTube, and more.
4. Apps That Actually Work
Shopify has over 8,000 apps — reviews, loyalty, subscriptions, bundles, AR — all ready to scale with you.
5. Checkouts That Don’t Suck
Fast, secure, trusted by millions. Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and local currency support built in.
🌍 Real Brands on Shopify
Big brands, bigger conversions. These aren’t just eCommerce stores — they’re movements, built on Shopify from day one.
Click to zoom. These brands didn’t get big and then switch to Shopify — they grew on it: SKIMS, Kylie Cosmetics, Glossier, Gymshark, Fashion Nova.
🧠 Real Talk: What’s the Catch?
Shopify isn’t free — but neither is Wix if you want to remove ads or start selling. With Shopify, you’re not just paying for a site — you’re investing in serious business infrastructure.
Switching doesn’t mean starting over. You can:
- 📦 Import products, orders, and customers
- 🚀 Redesign for faster load + better conversion
- 📲 Connect Instagram, TikTok, Amazon, and more
