Wix product export: convert it for another store

Wix Stores exports products as a CSV (often catalog_products.csv). Older stores use a layout that starts with handleId; stores on the new product catalog use one that starts with handle. Both are read.

Your Wix Stores products CSV.

Your file stays on this device

It is read and converted by this page, inside your browser. Nothing from the file is uploaded, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.

No file handy? or download the sample to look at it first.

The products in the sample are invented. It is converted on this device, the same way your own file would be.

How to export from Wix

  1. In your Wix dashboard, open your store's Products list.
  2. Click More Actions (or the export icon), then Export, and choose all products.
  3. Save the CSV. Menu names differ a little between Wix dashboard versions; the file is the same.
  4. Note your store's weight unit (in the store settings). The file does not say whether weights are in pounds or kilograms, so this page asks you before you download.

What to know about Wix files

  • Images are Wix media IDs, not links. Links are built as https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ followed by the ID, which is Wix's usual image host but is not documented by Wix. Open a couple of them in a browser before importing.
  • Weights have no unit in the file, so the page asks for your Wix weight unit before you can download. Every weight, and so every weight-based shipping rate, depends on it.
  • Variant prices are the product price plus the variant surcharge. Ribbons, additional info sections and custom text fields are not carried over.
  • Products with options but no variant rows are expanded into every combination, with a note. Variants hidden in Wix are converted like the others and listed, so you can delete them.
  • Colour choices are carried over by name (the colour swatch code is dropped).

Only products move. Customers, orders, reviews, gift card balances, blog posts, pages and URL redirects are not in a product export, so CatalogHop does not convert them.

Questions

How do I move my Wix products to Shopify or WooCommerce?
Export your products from Wix as a CSV with the steps on this page, drop the file into the converter and pick Shopify or WooCommerce. The file is converted in your browser, and you download a CSV in that importer's layout. Import a few products first and check them before importing the rest.
Will my Wix images come across?
The Wix file holds image IDs, not links. CatalogHop builds links on Wix's usual image host. Shopify downloads each one during import, so open a couple in your browser first; if they load, Shopify can usually fetch them while your Wix site is still live.
What happens to Wix categories?
On the new Wix catalog, category slugs become WooCommerce categories. On older Wix stores the export has collections, which are carried over as categories where the file includes them.
Does it move customers, orders or reviews?
No. Only products move. Customers, orders, reviews, gift card balances, blog posts, pages and URL redirects are not in a product export, so CatalogHop does not convert them.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. The page reads the file with your browser and converts it there. The only thing the site records is an anonymous count: which converter was used, a rough row count, and whether it worked. The privacy page lists every field.
