My current website is on Wix, and I want to move the existing domain over to Shopify. How long does it typically take to transfer the domain? Since we’re already indexed by Google, we’re concerned that moving the domain might affect our SEO rankings or visibility. If we use the same domain on Shopify, will Google still index our site as before, or is there a risk that people won’t be able to find us after the move?
Hi, Tracy
Transferring your existing domain from Wix to Shopify typically takes 3–7 business days.
You’re just pointing the domain to the Shopify site without changing the domain itself, which shouldn’t affect Google rankings. However, since the content structure of your site will differ from Wix, you need to set up redirects for the indexed content or wait for Google to re - index the site.
Could you please guide me on how to set up URL redirects? Do I need to redirect each page individually, or is it enough to just redirect the domain?
