Esterella Lingerie
Seamless Migration from Magento to Shopify: Optimizing User Experience and Search Engine Ranking
problem
Esterella Lingerie, a long-term client for whom we had previously built a Magento 1 store, sought to migrate their online presence to Shopify. The primary reasons for this shift were to reduce the high maintenance costs associated with Magento and to leverage Shopify s user-friendly, cloud-based CMS. Esterella s store contained approximately 30,000 items, each with numerous size and color variants, which posed a significant challenge due to Shopify s limitations on the number of product attributes. Additionally, the new store needed to seamlessly integrate with their existing third-party point-of-sale system, Remira. Another critical requirement was to maintain Esterella s SEO rankings, necessitating the development of a script to correctly redirect all existing links to their new locations on the Shopify platform. Esterella wanted to ensure a smooth and welcoming transition for their highly engaged customer base.

solution
To address these challenges, we developed a comprehensive migration strategy. This involved creating custom solutions to transfer all products and their numerous variants into Shopify despite its attribute limitations. We also designed an aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly store interface. A private API was developed to facilitate the integration with the Remira POS system, ensuring that the synchronization of inventory and sales data remained uninterrupted. To preserve SEO rankings, we wrote and implemented a script that accurately redirected old URLs to the corresponding new ones. This meticulous planning and execution were aimed at ensuring both the continuity of Esterella s online presence and a positive user experience for their active customers.

Feedback from Client
We have been working with Interactivated for a long time, both on Magento and the transition to Shopify. Suzanna and her team made the necessary preparations before we transferred. Our problem was that the marketing agencies and our POS system had completely missed the mark. Interactivated even helped those parties as much as possible to get our situation in order. We have changed systems more often in recent years and something always went wrong. Interactivated is the only party where things have never gone wrong. Even after the switch, they go even further to see if improvements can be found, and even in the commercial field to refine the offering. So they are very aware and also have the knowledge of which parties are on the market to collaborate with or the fine-tuning to offer items better. I can recommend Interactivated 100%, then you are in good hands.
