Wix to Shopify Migration Case Study: How Bluetech IT Services Helped My Day Day Belgium Transition from Wix to Shopify
Wix to Shopify Migration Approach
Every ecommerce migration presents unique requirements depending on the existing platform, business processes, and customer experience. For this project, our approach focused on completing the migration with minimal disruption while carefully reviewing each business-critical component before launch.
Instead of relying solely on automated migration tools, we reviewed the existing Shopify setup alongside the Wix store to ensure important store data and configuration aligned with the client's requirements.
The migration process included product verification, configuration reviews, functionality testing, and implementation of additional Shopify features requested during the project.
By following a structured migration process, we helped the client transition to Shopify while maintaining business continuity and preparing the store for future enhancements
About the Client
My Day Day Belgium is an online wellness and lifestyle brand focused on providing thoughtfully selected products for everyday living. As the business evolved, the client decided to move from Wix to Shopify to take advantage of Shopify's ecommerce ecosystem, flexibility, and ability to support future business growth.
While much of the Shopify storefront had already been designed internally, the migration itself required technical expertise to ensure that products, customer reviews, store settings, analytics, and business functionality were transferred correctly before the new website went live.
Bluetech IT Services was engaged to complete the migration, validate the Shopify store configuration, and help deliver a smooth transition from Wix without disrupting the customer experience

Project Requirements
The project focused on more than simply moving products between platforms. The client wanted to ensure the Shopify store functioned as a direct replacement for the existing Wix website while introducing several improvements that would support future customer engagement.
Rather than redesigning the website, the objective was to complete the migration efficiently while ensuring the Shopify store was fully functional before launch.
The agreed project scope included:
- Migrating the online store from Wix to Shopify
- Transferring approximately 40 products
- Reviewing payment, shipping, tax, and policy settings
- Connecting Shopify to the existing domain
- Preserving the website structure wherever possible
- Migrating customer testimonials from the Fera Reviews application
- Integrating Google Analytics
- Configuring location-specific tax behaviour
- Creating a members-only section for exclusive content and offers
- Implementing a 30-minute cart reservation timer
Completing the Product Migration
The Shopify storefront had already been partially prepared before our involvement, with some products and blog content transferred by the client. Our responsibility was to complete the remaining migration work and ensure the product catalogue was accurately represented within Shopify.
Approximately 40 products were reviewed and migrated into the Shopify store. Each product was checked to ensure that titles, descriptions, pricing, and product images displayed correctly within the new platform. Product organisation was also reviewed so that customers could continue browsing products in a familiar and intuitive way after the migration
Rather than simply importing product records, attention was given to maintaining consistency across the catalogue, reducing the likelihood of missing information or formatting issues after launch.
Reviewing Store Configuration
One of the most important stages of any ecommerce migration is validating the operational settings that allow customers to complete purchases successfully.
After the migration work was completed, the Shopify store configuration was carefully reviewed to confirm that essential ecommerce functionality had been carried over correctly.
This included reviewing:
- Payment gateway configuration
- Shipping settings
- Tax settings
- Checkout behaviour
- Store policies
- Terms and Conditions
The goal was to ensure that customers could continue shopping without experiencing unexpected issues after the transition from Wix to Shopify.
This review also gave the client confidence that the Shopify store was ready for day-to-day business operations before replacing the existing website.
Launching Shopify on the Existing Domain
Changing ecommerce platforms often involves moving an existing domain from one platform to another. If handled incorrectly, this process can result in unnecessary downtime or interruptions for customers.
As part of this project, Bluetech assisted with connecting the client's existing domain to Shopify and verified that the website resolved correctly after launch.
Before the final switch, the domain configuration was reviewed alongside the Shopify store setup to ensure customers could continue accessing the website through the same web address without needing to update bookmarks or search for a new site.
Maintaining the existing domain also helps provide continuity for returning customers and supports a smoother transition between platforms.
Preserving Important Website Structure
One of the client's priorities was ensuring that the migration did not unnecessarily impact the visibility or accessibility of the website.
Although every platform has structural differences, the migration was planned with the objective of maintaining continuity wherever possible.
During the migration, attention was given to reviewing the website structure, existing content, and overall organisation to minimise disruption after launch.
This included considering page accessibility, existing content hierarchy, and ensuring that visitors arriving from search engines or external sources could continue navigating the website without confusion.
Rather than treating SEO as a separate task after launch, these considerations formed part of the migration planning process itself.
Migrating Customer Testimonials
Customer reviews play an important role in establishing trust for online stores, particularly for businesses selling wellness and lifestyle products.
The client had already collected testimonials through the Fera Reviews application on their Wix website and wanted to preserve this valuable social proof when moving to Shopify.
As part of the migration, the existing customer testimonials were transferred so they could continue appearing on the new Shopify store
By retaining these reviews, the client avoided losing years of customer feedback while providing visitors with the same confidence and reassurance they experienced on the previous website.
Google Analytics Integration
Accurate website data is essential for measuring ecommerce performance after a platform migration. To ensure the client could continue tracking customer activity, Bluetech integrated Google Analytics into the new Shopify store.
The implementation allows the client to monitor key performance indicators such as website traffic, user behaviour, sales activity, and customer journeys. By ensuring analytics were configured during the migration process, the client could continue measuring business performance without losing visibility into store activity after launch.
Integrating analytics during the migration also creates a reliable foundation for future marketing initiatives, advertising campaigns, and conversion optimization efforts.
Regional Tax Configuration
The client's pricing requirements varied depending on customer location, making tax configuration an important part of the migration.
Bluetech reviewed the required tax behaviour and configured the Shopify store so pricing could be presented according to the client's business requirements. This included displaying prices with tax included where applicable while allowing tax to be calculated separately for customers within the European Union.
By configuring the tax settings during implementation, the store was prepared to deliver a consistent and transparent pricing experience for different customer groups.
Members-Only Experience
In addition to migrating the existing website, the client wanted to introduce functionality that would support future customer engagement.
To meet this requirement, Bluetech implemented a members-only area within the Shopify store. The objective was to provide a secure section where subscribed customers could access exclusive content and benefits that were not available to general visitors.
The implementation provides flexibility for features such as:
- Exclusive blog articles
- Subscriber-only educational content
- Member discounts and promotional offers
- Private resources
- Community-focused experiences as the business grows
Rather than being a one-time enhancement, this functionality creates opportunities for the client to strengthen customer relationships and build recurring engagement over time.
Cart Reservation Timer
Improving the checkout experience was another important requirement of the project.
Bluetech implemented a cart reservation feature that keeps a customer's basket active for up to 30 minutes while displaying a visible countdown timer.
This functionality helps communicate the reservation period clearly during checkout and supports a smoother purchasing experience for customers who need a short period to complete their order.
The feature also aligns with the client's objective of delivering a more structured shopping experience within Shopify.
Testing Before Launch
Before replacing the live Wix website, the Shopify store underwent a final review to verify that the migrated store was ready for customers.
The review included checking:
- Product information and pricing
- Payment functionality
- Shipping configuration
- Tax behaviour
- Customer reviews
- Analytics integration
- Domain connection
- Overall storefront functionality
Completing these checks before launch helped reduce the likelihood of unexpected issues after the migration and ensured the new Shopify store was ready for day-to-day operations.
Project Outcome
The migration was completed successfully, allowing My Day Day Belgium to transition from Wix to Shopify while maintaining its existing online presence and customer experience.
Rather than rebuilding the website from the ground up, the project focused on completing the Shopify implementation, validating operational settings, and introducing additional functionality requested by the client.
The result is a Shopify store that supports the client's current business needs while providing greater flexibility for future growth and customer engagement.
Following the migration, the business had a fully operational Shopify store with:
- A streamlined shopping experience
- Improved website performance
- Simplified product management
- Easier day-to-day store administration
- Secure cloud-based hosting
- A scalable foundation for future growth
- A technically sound platform for ongoing SEO and digital marketing

Why Businesses Choose Shopify for Growth Shopify for Growth
Migrating to Shopify gives growing ecommerce businesses access to a platform designed specifically for online selling. Compared to website builders that offer ecommerce as an additional feature, Shopify provides a comprehensive ecosystem for managing products, orders, payments, marketing integrations, and customer experiences.
For businesses like My Day Day Belgium, moving to Shopify also creates opportunities to introduce features such as membership experiences, advanced app integrations, improved analytics, and scalable ecommerce functionality without requiring a complete website rebuild.
When planned carefully, a migration can preserve the customer experience while providing a stronger foundation for future growth.
