Shopify is widely regarded as a top eCommerce platform. The platform is known for its remarkable app store that offers thousands of apps for optimal customizations and functionality. This feature is also a drawback for the company, with many users complaining that without these apps, their stores can’t function properly. Still, they end up being very costly, for instance, those needed for inventory management and generating multiple discount codes.

On the other hand, Wix is a free eCommerce solution that has become tremendously popular in a short span of time. The platform was started in 2006, and by 2014 it had 50 million users. Today, it has more than 160 million users, 22 million on mobile.

With Cart2Cart, it’s an accurate and fast procedure to move a Shopify store to Wix. The migration process is completely safe and will preserve your order IDs and SEO during the migration process.
