Migrating the online store from WordPress to the Shopify platform
The online store operated for years on WordPress, or WooCommerce software, but its look and feel had become outdated, the mobile version of the site was clunky, and naturally, it suffered from numerous bugs characteristic of WooCommerce, making the web store simply too slow for the user and confusing for the administrator.
The merchant set up the online store theme independently
The goal was to train the Glowstation online store managers in Shopify so that they would be capable of making all necessary settings themselves. This included managing the online store theme without the need for coding skills. We initially assisted with the theme selection and provided additional guidance throughout the process via video calls as needed.
Directo integration with the Shopify online store
Online store orders are automatically transferred from the Shopify platform to the Directo ERP software, where all further order management takes place. Periodic inventory updates are also sent from Directo to the online store.
Frequently asked questions
-
Without knowing the details, it is challenging to predict the budget of an e-commerce site.
Building the simplest e-shop on Shopify will stay within our minimum budget of 1000€.
For e-commerce sites with more complex business rules, custom business software integrations, and user interfaces drawn by a designer, you should consider a budget of €10,000+. -
The best way to do this is to use our Parcely parcel locker app. We offer a free setup of the app and delivery method. You can install the app itself in your e-shop from the official Shopify app store here https://apps.shopify.com/parcelyapp

We always recommend the OPAY payment initiation service because it allows you to display your bank selection directly in the Shopify checkout and the service itself is reasonably priced.

Yes, of course. The Shopify admin is very user-friendly, and there are many tutorials online. You can also take a look at our little guide here.
We sometimes help merchants with just a few changes or small development tasks. For example, we have developed the Directo integration for several online stores, meaning the merchant built the online store by themselves and we just added Directo integration to it.
-
Yes, it's not difficult if all work tasks are defined and described before starting the migration. Products, categories, content pages, and blog posts can often be transferred automatically (depending on the software). However, you need to consider manual work to check everything over and correct links and content layouts.
You can't migrate the theme code or user interface of an e-shop, but you can use it as a basis when creating a Shopify store and create something as similar as possible if necessary. -
The Shopify Plus plan is Shopify enterprise software, meaning it differs significantly in functionality from the standard Shopify packages.
The Shopify Plus plan is worth it if the merchant needs the functionality not available in Shopify's regular plans. For example, the Plus plan is necessary if the merchant works in a wholesale business or needs more B2B functionality.
The Plus plan also pays off if the e-store's annual turnover exceeds a few million. Namely, with the Shopify Plus plan, the merchant pays a significantly lower service percentage fee per order.
