How to move from Wix to LaunchMyStore
Export your products from Wix Stores as a CSV, copy the columns into LaunchMyStore's product CSV template and upload it; that works on every plan. Wix has no blog export, so posts and pages are rebuilt by hand, and product URLs change from /product-page/ to /products/. Plan about a week.
By Shivam Wadhwa, Founder, LaunchMyStoreLast updated Facts checked November 2026
In short
- What moves
- Products, prices, stock, SKUs, tags and up to 5 image links each, through the LaunchMyStore CSV template. Variants go in as variant rows. You rebuild categories, pages, blog posts and the design. Contacts and orders stay in your Wix exports.
- How long
- Mapping the columns takes longer than an upload, so give it an afternoon. Leave a week for design, pages, payments, a test order and the domain switch: the length of the 7-day free trial.
- What it costs
- $0 for the trial, then Starter at $24/mo billed yearly ($288 a year), or Gold at $70/mo ($840) if your products have variants. Wix Core, its first plan that takes payments, is $29/mo billed yearly.1
- Which plan
- Any plan can import through the CSV template, up to 100 products on Starter. Product variations (size or color options) are included on Gold and Platinum; Gold holds 1,000 products.

What moves
What moves from Wix to LaunchMyStore, and how?
Products move by file, but not directly: LaunchMyStore has no Wix importer, so you copy the columns from Wix's product export into LaunchMyStore's CSV template and upload that. Pages, blog posts and the design are rebuilt. Contacts and orders export from Wix as records. The table gives the method and plan for each item.
| What | Moves? | How | Plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Products and prices | In part | Export from Wix Stores as a CSV (up to 5,000 rows per file; digital products can't be exported).3 Copy name, description, price, stock, SKU and tags into LaunchMyStore's template, then upload under Products → the arrow beside Add New Product → Bulk Upload Products → Upload CSV. | PlanEvery plan |
| Variants | In part | Wix puts each variant on its own row.4 Enter them as variant rows in the template (Type = variant), with each option name, value, price and stock. | PlanIncluded on Gold and Platinum |

URLs and SEO
What happens to my Wix URLs and SEO?
Your product URLs change. Wix's default product URL is /product-page/slug, though merchants can remove that prefix in Wix's SEO settings;8 LaunchMyStore uses /products/handle. LaunchMyStore has no redirect manager, so old Wix product links show a not-found page until search engines pick up your new URLs and you update the links you control.
Keep each Wix slug as the handle so the change is only the prefix. The importer builds handles from product names: lowercase, with every run of other characters turned into one hyphen. Compare a few with your Wix URLs and edit any that differ in the product's SEO section.
Submit the new sitemap. Your LaunchMyStore store serves /sitemap.xml with every product, collection, blog and page URL; add it in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools on the day you switch the domain.
Then update the links you control (menus, emails, ads and social profiles), starting with your most-visited products.
| On Wix | On LaunchMyStore |
|---|---|
| /product-page/red-wool-sweater | /products/red-wool-sweater |
| Category pages | /collections/handle |
| Pages | /pages/handle |
| Blog posts | /blogs/blog/post |
Wix's default product URL on the left, and the LaunchMyStore path for everything else. Old URLs don't redirect, so update links that point at them.
Step by step
How do I move from Wix to LaunchMyStore, step by step?
Build the new store on its free launchmystore.io address while Wix keeps selling, and switch the domain last. In order: start the trial, export from Wix, copy your products into LaunchMyStore's CSV template and upload it, rebuild pages and posts, set up the theme, payments and shipping, place a test order, then point your domain.
- 01
Start your free trial
Create your store for $0. You get 7 days and a free yourstore.launchmystore.io address to build on; nothing you do here touches Wix.
- 02
Export your products from Wix
In your Wix dashboard, export your store products to a CSV file.3 Each file holds up to 5,000 rows, and digital products aren't included.
- 03
- 04
Download the LaunchMyStore template
Open Products → the arrow beside Add New Product → Bulk Upload Products → Upload CSV and download the sample file. Each row is a product or a variant; the help article lists every column.
Help: upload products in bulk with CSV - 05
Copy your columns across and upload
Paste names, descriptions, prices, stock, SKUs, tags and image links into the matching columns, add variant rows, then upload the file.
- 06
Rebuild categories, pages and blog posts
Create categories and assign products, then copy pages and posts into Appearance → Pages and Appearance → Blogs.
- 07

- 08
Place a test order
Buy a product on the launchmystore.io address to check checkout, payment, emails and stock, and refund it from the order page.
- 09
Point or transfer your domain
In Settings → Domains, connect your domain and add the CNAME and TXT records shown. For a domain bought from Wix, start the transfer early: Wix says it usually takes up to 7 days.9
Help: connect a custom domain - 10
Submit the sitemap and cancel Wix
Add /sitemap.xml in Google Search Console, update your links, and cancel the Wix plan once orders arrive on LaunchMyStore.
Timeline
How long does a Wix to LaunchMyStore move take?
Plan on about a week for a small store, which fits inside the 7-day free trial. Copying a Wix export into the LaunchMyStore template takes longer than a direct import, and every page and blog post is rebuilt by hand. A domain bought from Wix can take up to 7 days to transfer, so start that on day one.
| When | What you do |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Start the trial, export from Wix, start a domain transfer if Wix holds your domain. |
| Day 2 | Copy products into the LaunchMyStore template, add variant rows, upload. |
| Day 3 | Check images and stock, create categories, choose and style a theme. |
| Day 4 | Rebuild pages and copy blog posts; add policies and discount codes. |
| Day 5 | Connect payments, set shipping zones and taxes, review order emails. |
| Day 6 | Place and refund test orders on the launchmystore.io address. |
| Day 7 | Point your domain, submit the sitemap, then cancel Wix once orders arrive. |
A sample plan, not a guarantee: it assumes a catalog that fits one file and a few dozen pages and posts.
Cost of switching
What does it cost to switch from Wix to LaunchMyStore?
The move costs $0 during the 7-day trial. After that it depends on what you sell. Without variants, Starter at $288 a year is less than Wix Core at $348. With variants, Gold at $840 costs more than Core, unless you sell memberships, where Wix takes 4% of recurring sales on Core.

How we calculated this
- Wix prices from wix.com/plans (billed yearly) and the Pricing Plans fee from Wix's help center, checked November 2026. LaunchMyStore list prices from its pricing page.
- Card processing is left out of both columns: you pay it to Wix Payments or to your gateway either way. LaunchMyStore charges 0% platform transaction fees on every plan.
- Like for like: Wix includes multiple languages and offers its own Wix Reviews app,13,17 so neither adds a cost here. Selling in person: Wix POS works in the US, Canada and UK with Wix Payments, with hardware from $69;15 LaunchMyStore POS is included free on Platinum or $49 per store per month on Starter and Gold.
- The public code FLAT20 takes 20% off any plan. The totals above use list prices.
- Run your own numbers in the ecommerce platform cost calculator, or see what each plan includes on the pricing page.
The honest part
When should you stay on Wix?
Stay if the shop is a small part of a site Wix does well, such as bookings, events or a portfolio, if you rely on free-form drag-and-drop design, or if your products have variants and you sell no memberships, where Wix Core costs less than LaunchMyStore Gold.
- A site that is mostly bookings, events or a portfolio, with a small shop.
- More than 5,000 products: Wix allows up to 50,000.12

Questions about moving from Wix
Can I export my Wix store to LaunchMyStore?
Your products, yes. Export them from Wix Stores as a CSV, copy the columns into LaunchMyStore's product CSV template and upload it under Products → Bulk Upload Products. There's no one-click Wix importer, and pages, blog posts and the design are rebuilt by hand, since Wix doesn't export them.
Can I move my Wix blog posts?
Only by copying them. Wix's help center says blog posts can't be exported to other platforms, so paste each post into Appearance → Blogs on LaunchMyStore, with its images. Start with the posts that bring the most visitors, and update links to them, because on LaunchMyStore they live under /blogs/blog/post.
Will my Wix product URLs still work?
No, not on their own. Wix uses /product-page/slug by default and LaunchMyStore uses /products/handle, and there's no redirect manager yet. Keep each Wix slug as the handle so only the prefix changes, submit your new /sitemap.xml to Google and Bing, and update links you control, starting with your best-selling products.
How do I move a domain I bought from Wix?
Transfer it out of Wix with its authorization (EPP) code, which Wix says usually takes up to 7 days, then connect it under Settings → Domains on LaunchMyStore. Start early so the transfer finishes inside your trial. A domain registered elsewhere just needs a CNAME and a TXT record.
Which LaunchMyStore plan do I need after Wix?
Starter ($24 a month billed yearly) if your catalog is up to 100 products without size or color options; the CSV template works on every plan. Product variants are included on Gold and Platinum; Gold ($70 a month billed yearly) also includes subscriptions for memberships and holds 1,000 products.
Can I change my LaunchMyStore theme later?
Yes, any time, without rebuilding your products or pages, because they live in the store rather than in the theme. That's a difference from Wix, whose help center says a site's template can't be switched once the site is built. Premium themes are included on every LaunchMyStore plan.
Is LaunchMyStore cheaper than Wix?
It depends on your catalog. Without variants, Starter costs $288 a year against $348 for Wix Core. With variants, LaunchMyStore Gold at $840 costs more than Core. If you sell $20,000 a year in memberships, Wix's 4% Pricing Plans fee brings Core to $1,148, above Gold.
