Carolina Swim Shop
Magento 1 to Magento 2 Migration Project
Carolina Swim Shop initially engaged with Zynovo to optimize its direct to consumer digital commerce site, which was based on Magento ver. 1.x. The site had over 10,000+ products across its 55+ Magento stores on a single Magento platform. As we began to discuss future growth as well as the company’s plans to continue to invest in e-commerce, the company decided to upgrade to Magento ver. 2.x.
Zynovo and Carolina Swim Shop worked together to rebuild the website, along with creating a new design, improving content strategy, and migrating all existing customers, sales, products and the Magento Team stores associated with them.
The Challenge
&
Our Solution
We were challenged to migrate existing customers, over 10,000 products and sales orders from all 55+ Team Stores to the new Carolina Swim Shop Magento 2.x site while existing Magento 1.x was still on production.
In close collaboration with the team at Carolina Swim Shop, we kicked off the process with a series of trial migrations and prepared a migration plan. Each successful mini-migration was celebrated by our team in the moment, demonstrating our passion for the work we do and ultimately leading us to the successful launch of the new M2 Carolina Swim Shop site on time and on budget.
“We’re honored to have worked with the Carolina Swim Shop and help them successfully navigate the migration to Magento 2.”
