Move your shop,painlessly
Stuck on Wix, Squarespace, Shopify or a tired old custom site? We move your products, content and search ranking over to Petal with zero downtime, and without losing your place on Google. You keep arranging; we handle the heavy lifting. 🌸
The itch to move
Stuck on the wrong platform?
You didn't open a flower shop to wrestle with website builders. If any of these sound like your Sunday evening, you're not alone, and you're not stuck.
On Wix
Drag-and-drop felt easy at first, but now the fees creep up every year and you still can't get found for “florist near me”. Editing one product means fighting the whole page.
On Squarespace
Lovely templates, and that's the problem. Your shop looks like a hundred others, the blog does nothing for local search, and the checkout wasn't really built to sell bouquets.
On Shopify
Powerful, but you're paying for apps you never asked for, the monthly bill keeps climbing, and every little tweak seems to need a developer or yet another paid plugin.
On an ageing custom site
It was built years ago by someone you've long lost touch with. It's slow on phones, awkward to update, and you're nervous to touch it in case the whole thing breaks.
Sound familiar? Petal is built only for florists, so the move fixes the things a generic builder never could. See shops we've moved.
Nothing left behind
What we move across
A migration is only worth doing if you arrive with everything that matters. Here's what comes with you, and the bit we guard most carefully of all.
Every product & photo
All your bouquets, arrangements and subscriptions come across, images, prices, options and stock, re-cropped and tidied so the new shop looks its best from day one.
All your content & pages
About, delivery info, FAQs, blog posts, opening hours, the words that took you years to get right move over with you, nothing left behind on the old platform.
Customers & orders, where possible
Where your old platform lets us export them, we bring your customer list and order history across, so the relationships you've built don't reset to zero on launch day.
Your search ranking
The big one. We map and redirect every URL so the trust you've earned on Google carries straight over, and your old site stays live until the new one is ready, so there's zero downtime.
The golden rule: your current site stays live and taking orders right up until the moment your new Petal shop is ready. You never go dark, and you never lose a day of trading.
How it works
How a migration works
Five clear steps, no jargon, and your old shop humming away the whole time. Here's exactly how we get you across.
01
Audit & plan
We comb through your current site, every product, page and the searches you already rank for, and write a clear, honest migration plan with a realistic timeline. No surprises later.
02
Rebuild on Petal
We recreate your shop on Petal: products and photos imported, content moved across, a design that finally looks like you, and a checkout built to actually sell flowers.
03
Map & redirect every URL
This is where your SEO is won or lost. We match each old web address to its new home and set up redirects, so Google keeps its bearings and no customer ever hits a dead link.
04
Test everything
We click through the whole shop on real phones and desktops, orders, delivery dates, payments, redirects, emails, and you get a private preview to sign off before anything goes public.
05
Launch & monitor
We point your domain across in one near-instant switch, then keep a close eye on your rankings and orders for weeks afterwards, tuning as we go. You keep arranging throughout.
The worries
The honest answers to the things every florist asks before moving. Want to talk it through for your shop? Just ask us.
This is the part we obsess over, so the honest answer is: done properly, you shouldn't. Every page on your old site gets mapped to its new home and a redirect put in place, so Google (and anyone with an old bookmark) lands where they expect. We keep your page titles, headings and content intact, submit a fresh sitemap, and watch your search positions for weeks after launch. Most shops hold steady, plenty climb, because the new site is faster and easier for Google to read.
No. Your current site stays live and taking orders the entire time we build. We rebuild on Petal quietly in the background, test everything, and only point your domain across once you've seen it and given the nod. The switchover itself is near-instant, customers never hit a 'site down' page, and you don't lose a single day of trading.
Never. Once you're on Petal it's a flat monthly fee with no long lock-in, if you ever want to leave, you can, and you take your domain and content with you. We'd rather earn your next month than trap you in it. The whole point of migrating to us is to get you off something that felt like a cage, not into a new one.
Your domain stays yours, we simply point it at your new Petal site, and you keep full ownership the whole way through. If your old platform was handling your shop@yourflorist email, we'll flag that early and make sure it keeps working before we flip anything, so you never miss an enquiry mid-move.
Most shops are fully moved within a few weeks, depending on how many products and pages you have. We'll give you an honest timeline at the audit stage, no vague 'it depends'. Because your old site stays live throughout, there's never any pressure to rush the launch before the new site is genuinely ready.
Bring them as they are. We carry across everything we can automatically, then tidy as we go, re-cropping images, tightening descriptions and grouping products sensibly. If something's missing or low-resolution we'll tell you rather than quietly publish it, and our designers can help fill the gaps.
Worried about something specific to your shop? Just ask us.
