WordPress can import posts from an RSS feed with its official importer. It brings over the title, the text, and the date, but not always the images or categories, so it&#8217;s a good idea to check each post one by one. With many posts, a migration plugin or service saves hours.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tienda\">If you have a store on Wix<\/h2>\n<p>Wix Stores products are exported as a CSV from the dashboard and imported into WooCommerce. Check each product&#8217;s options, which become variations, and the images. Orders and customer passwords don&#8217;t transfer the same way: the usual approach is to keep the history and ask customers to create a new password. Payments, shipping, and taxes are set up again and tested with real purchases.<\/p>\n<p>What it costs each month to run a store on WooCommerce is covered in <a href=\"https:\/\/consultoriaehero.com\/en\/how-much-does-an-online-store-cost-in-spain-in-2026\/\">how much an online store costs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"urls\">Redirects<\/h2>\n<p>Wix uses its own paths. If they change in WordPress, each old URL needs a 301 redirect to the new one, or Google starts from scratch with your website:<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow:auto;max-width:100%\">\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;min-width:420px\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background:#334155;color:#fff\">\n<th style=\"padding:10px 12px;text-align:left\">On Wix<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:10px 12px;text-align:left\">On WordPress (for example)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:9px 12px\"><code>\/post\/mi-articulo<\/code><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:9px 12px\"><code>\/mi-articulo\/<\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#f8fafc\">\n<td style=\"padding:9px 12px\"><code>\/product-page\/camiseta-azul<\/code><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:9px 12px\"><code>\/producto\/camiseta-azul\/<\/code><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:9px 12px\"><code>\/servicios<\/code><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:9px 12px\"><code>\/servicios\/<\/code> (no need to redirect if it stays the same)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Pull the complete list of URLs from the Wix sitemap and from Search Console before shutting anything down.

Wix doesn&#8217;t export the design.

A well-built WordPress site usually ranks better over time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I move my domain from Wix to WordPress?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you bought it through Wix, you transfer it to another registrar, as long as 60 days have passed since registration. If it&#8217;s registered elsewhere, you just change where it points. In both cases, copy your email records first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much does it cost to migrate from Wix to WordPress?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A small website costs between \u20ac400 and \u20ac1,500.
