Shopify Migration

Context

The current site was hosted on a legacy Magento 1.0 B2C eCommerce platform. The legacy Magento 1.0 platform is not supported and is obsolete. It also lagged new enhanced B2C eCommerce features including multi-variant products, personalization, recommendations, etc. This was impacting the eCommerce revenues for the client.

Solution

Byte Volt did an as-is assessment of the current platform functionality and architecture. Based on the features, identified eCommerce platforms that would right fit. Shopify was identified as the best fit based on the B2C eCommerce features required by the client. Byte Volt developed an overall migration plan based on the eCommerce features, data, and integrations on the existing eCommerce website.

Third-party connectivity for shipping gateway was a critical component of the platform, the key requirement was to provide real-time tracking and status updates to customers and Shop owners as well.

Byte Volt collaborated with the client to finalize all the migration steps as Shopify is a SAS based platform and it has its own limitations. We created a plan to migrate all data properly including products, customers, orders, and categories as well.

Byte Volt was able to launch the site on time, on budget, and on spec.
