Migrating from Shopify, WooCommerce, or Wix

Switching to Nuvi from another platform is straightforward. The built-in import tool can pull blog posts, pages, products, and media from WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, and Wix sites — saving you days of manual copy-paste work.

Step 1: Open the Import Wizard

From the admin sidebar, click Import. The wizard greets you with platform options. Pick the source that matches your old site:

WordPress — Blog posts, pages, and media.
WooCommerce — Products, plus everything WordPress supports.
Shopify — Products, blog posts, pages, and media.
Wix — Pages, blog posts, and media.

Step 2: Provide the Source URL

Enter the public URL of your old site (e.g., https://my-old-shop.myshopify.com). Nuvi validates the URL format and verifies the site is reachable before kicking off the import. You do not need API keys or admin passwords — the importer reads from public endpoints and sitemaps.

Step 3: Choose What to Import

The wizard scans the source and shows you how many items of each type are available:

Blog Posts — Articles with content, featured image, and publish date.
Pages — Static pages like About Us, Contact, FAQ.
Products — Product catalog (WooCommerce and Shopify only).
Media — Images attached to the imported content.

Toggle each type on or off depending on what you need.

Step 4: Run the Import

Click Start Import. The job runs in the background — you can navigate away and check back later. The status panel shows progress, success counts, and any items that failed. A typical small site finishes in a few minutes; large catalogs may take longer.

Step 5: Review and Clean Up

After import, visit Pages, Press, and Products to review what came over. Imported items start as Draft so you can edit before publishing. Common post-import tasks:

Update internal links that still point to your old domain.
Re-attach featured images if any failed to download.
Adjust SEO titles and meta descriptions for the new URLs.
Set up redirects from your old URLs to the new Nuvi paths (see the Creating URL Redirects article).

Step 6: Check Import History

Go to Import > History to see all past import jobs. You can re-run an import if you missed content the first time, or delete an old job to clear it from the list.
