Cart Blender

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm Senior Software Engineer working in a startup. We aim to accelerate the path to sustainable coffee consumption.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Cart Blender, and what were your goals?

Our old website was hosted on Wordpress / Woocommerce. We evaluated multiple options and decided to migrate to Shopify. Cart Blender was hired to migrate the data and to consult on the best practices.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We searched options online. Cart Blender seemed to be the most professional option. Due to the old version we could not use automated options.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The project progressed incrementally. We had multiple rounds of migrated data & then quality assurance. Key deliverable was the migrated data. Key technologies were Shopify, Woocommerce and Wordpress.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

There was a single point of contact. Behind the scenes one backend person also worked on the project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The data we wanted to migrate was migrated. Cart Blender was very responsive to the changes we requested during the project.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Main communication tool was email and Google Sheets.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Cart Blender reacted very well on the changes we requested during the project and they fixed all the issues we found on the quality assurance phase.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Sometimes the email response times could have been faster - both on our side and on the supplier side.

1. Site live

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We partnered with Cart Blender to support our migration from Magento to Shopify and the experience was overwhelmingly positive.

Our setup was far from straightforward - Magento allows total freedom and we operated a complex B2B/B2C model with graded stores, layered pricing and multiple customer types. From the outset, Paul guided us through the options with clarity and honesty... he also understood how we did business which was very important. I always felt properly consulted at every step. Every decision felt considered and collaborative.

In fact, the team almost cared too much. At one stage, they were meticulously replicating elements of our old Magento site that we ultimately decided weren’t necessary - a testament to their thoroughness and attention to detail.

While the project did fall slightly behind schedule, Paul owned it immediately and laid out a clear recovery plan to regain momentum.

We now have a premium-looking Shopify store that better reflects our brand and most importantly, improved conversion rates :) which is what every retailer wants!

Even two months after completion, Paul responded promptly to a follow-up request for support. It was that which prompted me to write this review. That level of ongoing care speaks volumes.

Cart Blender is a professional, capable team, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. We wish them every success.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The project was to migrate our entire store from BigCommerce to Shopify. We also had added a new vendor and had Cart Blender to the initial upload of those products to our new store via the Shopify API.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The migration went very well, including all existing and past orders, variables and option sets, and the majority of the products. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

I would say that the timeline was acceptable but was a bit longer than initially expected—nothing major, perhaps just a few extra weeks.

I really appreciated the level of communication from Taras, who was in charge of our project. He was very knowledgeable and his emails were always very detailed and informative. I always felt like I understood what was happening and what was next.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Cart Blender could have done differently?

I would say that, at times, it seems like they have a high volume of work, and perhaps they do have brief moments of radio silence. Again, this is very minor, but if I had to pick something that they could improve, it would be a scheduled timeline.
