How can I successfully transition from Wix to Shopify?

Hi friends :slightly_smiling_face: I am switching my store over from Wix to Shopify and I am looking for your best tips, tricks, advice, literally anything you have to offer for someone new to Shopify!

I am a designer/artist and sell prints, tote bags, stickers, and other things featuring my art. I had my previous store active for ~8 months and I have a decent following on Instagram, but my biggest struggle was growing an audience, so anyyyy tips there would be greatly appreciated!

Excited to be joining this community and also open to forming new connections! TIA

Hi @sevenpctsarah

Congratulations on opening a new store and Welcome to Shopify. Shopify App Store offers a lot of efficient apps with a free trial. My recommendation would be to test apps with relevant marketing features to your store, so you would understand what works for you and what is not.

Also, you can share the link to your store for more detailed feedback.

I hope it would help!
