Wix to Adobe Commerce Migration Guide

Begin by conducting a thorough audit of your Wix store data including products, customers, orders, and content. Access your Wix dashboard and identify what data can be exported via CSV and what requires manual extraction. Document your current product catalog structure, noting any products with multiple variants that exceed Wix's 100-variant limit. Create a comprehensive inventory of all store assets, custom pages, blog posts, and media files that need migration.

Choose between Adobe Commerce Cloud or on-premise deployment based on your enterprise requirements. Set up your hosting environment, configure server specifications for optimal performance, and install Adobe Commerce with the appropriate edition (Commerce or Commerce Cloud). Configure basic store settings including timezone, currency, and locale settings. Establish development, staging, and production environments following Adobe Commerce best practices.

Select an enterprise-grade Adobe Commerce theme that aligns with your brand and functional requirements. Consider themes optimized for B2B functionality if applicable to your business model. Begin customizing the theme to match your Wix store's visual identity, including colors, fonts, layout structures, and responsive design elements. Configure theme settings for optimal performance and user experience across all devices.

Export your product data from Wix using the available CSV export functionality and prepare it for Adobe Commerce import format. Map Wix product fields to Adobe Commerce attributes, taking advantage of unlimited variant capabilities to expand product options previously limited in Wix. Create product categories, configure attribute sets, and import products using Adobe Commerce's native import tools or specialized migration extensions. Set up advanced product features like related products, upsells, and cross-sells.

Extract customer information from Wix including contact details, purchase history, and account preferences. Format the customer data according to Adobe Commerce's import requirements, ensuring proper field mapping for customer attributes, addresses, and account settings. Import customer data using Adobe Commerce's customer import functionality, and configure customer groups for B2B functionality if needed. Set up customer account features like wishlists, order history, and account dashboards.

Configure enterprise-grade payment processing solutions suitable for Adobe Commerce's advanced capabilities. Set up multiple payment methods including credit cards, PayPal, and B2B-specific options like purchase orders or net terms. Configure payment gateway settings for different customer groups and geographic regions. Test payment processing in the staging environment to ensure secure and reliable transaction handling.

Configure Adobe Commerce's advanced shipping capabilities that exceed Wix's basic shipping options. Set up multiple shipping methods, carriers, and rate calculations based on weight, destination, and customer groups. Configure shipping zones, restrictions, and special handling requirements for different product types. Integrate with enterprise shipping solutions and configure automated fulfillment processes if applicable to your business model.

Configure Adobe Commerce's comprehensive tax management system to handle complex tax scenarios that Wix may not support. Set up tax rates for different jurisdictions, configure tax classes for various product types, and implement tax exemptions for B2B customers if applicable. Configure automated tax calculation services and ensure compliance with local and international tax regulations. Set up tax reporting features for enterprise-level financial management.

Manually migrate content from your Wix site including page content, blog posts, images, and media files to Adobe Commerce. Recreate CMS pages using Adobe Commerce's content management system, taking advantage of advanced features like page builder and dynamic content blocks. Optimize images for web performance and configure media galleries for product images. Set up blog functionality if you were using Wix's blogging features.

Implement comprehensive SEO migration strategies to preserve search engine rankings during the transition from Wix to Adobe Commerce. Create 301 redirects for all existing URLs to their new Adobe Commerce equivalents, ensuring no broken links or lost traffic. Configure Adobe Commerce's SEO features including meta titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, and XML sitemaps. Set up Google Analytics and Search Console for the new domain structure.

Install and configure essential Adobe Commerce extensions to replicate and enhance functionality from your Wix store. Set up integrations with enterprise systems like ERP, CRM, and inventory management solutions that weren't available with Wix. Configure third-party extensions for advanced features like B2B functionality, advanced reporting, and marketing automation. Test all integrations to ensure seamless data flow and functionality.
