The Problem

A growing fashion brand with 2,000+ SKUs was struggling with their WooCommerce setup:

  • Downtime during sales events
  • Slow checkout causing cart abandonment
  • Manual inventory management across channels
  • Constant security patching

They wanted to move to Shopify for improved reliability and reduced operational work.

What We Did

We executed a 6-week migration plan:

PlanningWeek 1

Audited existing site structure and URLs, mapped all redirects for SEO preservation, set up Shopify development store.

Theme & FunctionalityWeeks 2-3

Built custom Shopify theme matching brand guidelines, implemented product filtering and search, set up product variants.

IntegrationsWeek 4

Connected Klaviyo for email marketing, set up ShipStation for shipping automation, configured inventory sync with warehouse.

Migration & LaunchWeeks 5-6

Migrated products with full metadata, imported customer accounts and order history, implemented 301 redirects, launched during low-traffic window.

The new store included a custom theme, advanced filtering, quick view, and automated email sequences for abandoned carts.

The Outcome

Checkout Time

< 25 sec

Noticeably faster completion

Uptime During Sales

100%

Shopify handles scaling automatically

Inventory Sync

Every 15 min

The team now spends less time on technical maintenance and more time on merchandising and marketing.
