Challenges

The WooCommerce platform had become a liability , slow, expensive to maintain, and impossible to customize fast enough to keep pace with growth. Their community-facing local pickup functionality didn't exist in any meaningful form online. Every campaign, every feature request took too long and cost too much.

Solution

1. Risk-Free WooCommerce to Shopify Migration

Mapped every URL redirect and transferred all metadata meticulously to protect years of hard-earned organic search rankings.

2. Premium UX/UI Redesign

Rebuilt the storefront from scratch with a conversion-first layout , clean collection pages, refined product detail experience, and brand storytelling that matches the craft identity.

3. Smart Collection Filtering

Added filtering by flavour profile, product category, and format so customers can find what they're looking for without friction.

4. Custom Local Pickup Integration

Built a seamless local pickup selector at checkout , allowing customers to choose their nearest location and deepening community engagement with the brand's retail presence.

5. Compliance & Post-Purchase Comms

Integrated age verification without disrupting the purchase flow. Connected Attentive SMS and Zend Desk for post-purchase communication and customer support.

Results :

Zero measurable drop in Google rankings post-migration , every page of organic authority preserved. Site load times improved dramatically. Conversion rates went up across both mobile and desktop. The local pickup feature strengthened community ties and drove more in-store visits. The storefront now works as hard as the product inside the bottle.
