But as you expand, Wix will most likely not be up to the task anymore. Then comes the need to migrate to a more suitable platform. And Shopify comes to the rescue.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Wix_and_Shopify_Stack_Up\"><\/span>How Wix and Shopify Stack Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Both Shopify and Wix are e-commerce-friendly tools that allow you to create impressive websites for your business. However, there are striking differences between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Below are the key differences between Wix and Shopify:\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Integration\"><\/span>Integration\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The Shopify app store list over 6,000 apps you can integrate with your Shopify store to improve its functionality. These apps are spread across hundreds of categories.<\/p>\n<p>The Wix app market on the hand only offers 300 plus third-party apps. Most of the apps are free, while other costs a token to use.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Theme_and_Templates\"><\/span>Theme and Templates\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Wix goes strong on designs with over 900 free customizable templates available to its users. You can pick any template you like and customize it using the drag-and-drop editor.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to go that route, the WIX Artificial Design Intelligence can help you design your website after you answer some vital questions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As for Shopify, the platform only has 132 themes, with 12 of them being free. The prices of these themes range from $180 to $360. You can also customize them with the Shopify user-friendly drag-and-drop editor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pricing\"><\/span>Pricing\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Wix offers a free plan and three categories of paid plans. The free plan has very limited features that restrict what you can do. If you want more flexibility, you need to upgrade to any of the paid plans below;<\/p>\n<p><b>Website Plans<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\u00a0VIP: costs $24.50 per month<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Unlimited: costs $12.50 per month<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Combo: costs $8.50 per month<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Connect Domain: costs $4.50 per month\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Business and E-commerce Plans<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Business VIP: costs $35 per month<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Business Unlimited: costs $25 per month\u00a0<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Business Basic: costs $17 per month\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Enterprise Plan<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The enterprise plan allows large-scale businesses to customize their pricing plan.<\/p>\n<p>Shopify on the other hand, offers a 3-day free trial without commitment and three paid plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They include:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Basic:<\/b> costs $24 per month<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Shopify:<\/b> costs $69 per month\u00a0<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Advanced:<\/b> costs $299 per month<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Shopify Plus<\/p>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/adoric.com\/blog\/shopify-plus-features-pros-cons-and-pricing\/\">Shopify Plus<\/a> plan is a better option for enterprise-level businesses. Keep in mind that the cost of each plan is billed annually at a 25% discount rate.<\/p>\n<p>The Shopify pricing plans are more expensive than that of Wix. However, considering all the features Shopify has to offer, you are quite frankly getting value for your money.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Functionality\"><\/span>Functionality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Wix and Shopify are excellent website-building tools that enable you to take your business online. But they are uniquely different from each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wix is an all-in-one platform that lets you create an online presence for your business. You can build an e-commerce website, manage bookings and reservations online, display your food menu online, or create a blog website.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, It provides some tools that make it easy for you to create whatever you need. These tools include the Wix Editor, Wix ADI, and Velo by Wix.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whereas Shopify is a tool created specifically for e-commerce businesses. It offers several features and over 6,000 third-party apps, all designed to improve the performance of your e-commerce business.<\/p>\n<p>Although both platforms differ from each other, either Wix or Shopify can help you get started on your e-commerce journey. However, Shopify will always be a better option if you hope to scale in the near future.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Switching_to_Shopify\"><\/span>Benefits of Switching to Shopify<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wix is a great website builder. But, because it was not created specifically for e-commerce, that makes Shopify a better option for e-commerce store owners. Therefore, migrating your e-commerce business from Wix to Shopify will do you more good.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So if you are wondering which is better, Shopify or Wix, here are some of the perks of using Shopify to manage your online business.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flexibility\"><\/span>Flexibility\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Between Wix and Shopify, Shopify is better suited for e-commerce businesses because it has many features created to meet the needs of e-commerce stores. Wix on the and hand, offers limited features which can hinder your progress as an e-commerce business owner.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Using Shopify gives you so much freedom and opportunity to scale your business. And that is because it was created specifically for e-commerce. You can integrate as many apps and plugins as you need.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Scalable\"><\/span>More Scalable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Shopify is perfect for growing your business from one stage to the other.

Integrating it with your website is straightforward and gives you more control over your business.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Access_to_Better_Themes\"><\/span>Access to Better Themes\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Shopify remains one of the best e-commerce tools for website building. Moving your website from Wix to Shopify gives you access to a wide variety of themes.

The free themes can give you what you need as a beginner if you have a limited budget. You can always upgrade as you scale.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Access_To_Multiple_Payment_Options\"><\/span>Access To Multiple Payment Options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Shopify provides over 100 payment options such as Shop Pay, Amazon Pay, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more. The availability of these payment gateways makes transactions faster and easier.<\/p>\n<p>The Shop Pay feature allows you to save your customers\u2019 details which auto-fills the order form every time they place an order. That way, customers don\u2019t need to fill out their details with every new order.<\/p>\n<p>If you use Wix, you can only transact with limited payment options such as Square, PayPal, and Stripe, while digital wallets are not accepted. Although Wix has its own built-in payment gateway, which is free to use, it is not available to all users.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-step_Guide_to_Moving_from_Wix_to_Shopify\"><\/span>Step-by-step Guide to Moving from Wix to Shopify<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Backup_Your_Wix_Database\"><\/span>1.

The process is quite simple and only takes a few steps to complete.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Site History feature in Wix lets you restore your website to its previous state if you make any mistakes. Plus, you can also duplicate your site if you wish to retain it on Wix after moving to Shopify.<\/p>\n<p>Do the following to backup your Wix store data:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Log in to your Wix account and choose the site to backup from the dashboard<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Click on <b>Site Action<\/b> and then select <b>Duplicate Site<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Enter a name for your new website to differentiate them\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note that this process does not back up all your data.
