MILOOSH · SOFTWARE RESEARCH YOU CAN VERIFY

Should you repair, embed or migrate your small store?

A buyer-run worksheet, not a platform ranking or a completed test. Unknown is not a pass. Do not move a live checkout until every required gate has evidence and an accountable owner.

Migration / external setupSeparate installation price from migration charges.
Your internal setup / maintenanceYour estimated hours × your estimated hourly cost; not a vendor charge.

Source checks and safe testing

Wix’s documented Cart2Cart route requires a payment-enabled plan to import orders and lists a 1,000-product / 1,000-order import limit for that route, not total platform capacity. A free installation is not a free migration. Shopify says gateway tests require a paid plan and live buyers cannot place orders while providers are in test mode. Confirm the current procedure and do not disrupt a trading store.

Sources checked September 16, 2026: Wix migration documentation; Shopify test-order documentation. The worksheet and cost framework are Miloosh editorial analysis, not hands-on test results or migration guarantees.
