When their reach and expression were limited on Magento, they decided to pivot to Shopify Plus and enlist the help of Praella to help them grow their direct-to-consumer business. This was a daunting task, as they had to complete the transition within a tight timeline due to the sunsetting of Magento 1.9. However, with the help of Praella, Waxing Poetic was able to make the switch and continue to expand their reach.
Migration
This included migration of over 2000 products, hundreds of pages and content pieces, over 500,000 customer data points, and over 1.5 million order data points.
SEO
Praella guided Waxing Poetic in retaining existing SEO and building on top of what currently existed by implementing the best on-site technical practices.

One of the challenges was to improve the mobile-based experience. Working closely with Praella's user experience team and Waxing Poetics internal resources, the impact was measurable shortly after the launch of the Shopify Plus shop.
Mobile page speed improved leading to the conversion rate increase of 14% and revenue increase by over 52% on mobile sessions.
From Magento to Shopify.
Waxing Poetic was under a tight timeline to migrate from Magento 1.9 to Shopify Plus due to Magento's end of life. With Shopify's recommendation, Waxing Poetic partnered with Praella to accomplish the migration of data and the entire bespoke build on Shopify Plus.
With Shopify Plus' scalability and optimal performance, Praella drastically improved the Waxing Poetic through user-facing initiatives and back-end optimizations. Shopify Plus also allowed Waxing Poetic to enter peak season sales worry-free with Shopify Plus' ability to handle thousands of orders per minute.
