Lossless data migration from Magento to Shopify

Main challenges
Migration from Magento 2 to Shopify Plus – our team performed lossless and sophisticated migration from Magento 2 to Shopify, which included companion apps and integrations (users, products, reviews, loyalty points, and more).
Subscriptions – the customers of Allies can now purchase products in subscription packages and choose the delivery frequency; the back-office interface is supported by a Shopify app that makes it easy to change frequencies, customer groups, and plans.
Multi-international split – for the new website launch, we created several instances of their store that targeted different countries and currencies. The split of stores was done together with the data division from the Magento 2 database (the data was distributed based on the specific variables, e.g. country of purchase).
Promotions, discounts, and free gifts – we’ve been continuously supporting Allies with the dev work and the design support in the marketing area (customized and unique promotions, free gifts, marketing banners, and more).

Please describe your company and your position there.
ALBA THYMENT is a family company established in 1913 in Poland. We manufacture and market natural cosmetics, massage products, holistic natural pharmaceuticals and aromatherapy products. I am the 3rd generation of family and serve the company as CEO.
For what projects/services did your company hire Sintra Consulting Poland Sp. z o.o., and what were your goals?
Our webpage was based on WordPress it was outdated and unserviced with low sales performance and weak security. We decided to look for a Shopify developer to create a well functioning ecommerce platform that will be easy to navigate by professional massage therapists and businesses alike. The new Polish Balsamique ecommerce had to be sleek with fast navigation options while being visually appealing and in-line with the brand philosophy.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
We have interviewed several companies, we chose Sintra for one of the projects and an alternative supplier for our second brand. Main point of Sintra was their knowledge of the Shopify platform and very well structured approach which ultimately saved time and costs.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
The project consisted several stages: defining the needs, creating the graphic design, implementing the store on the Shopify platform. After completing these tasks, we continue to cooperate with SINTRA in content-marketing and store promotion among our selected customer group.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
PM, Designer, Developer, Content Marketing Team
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
The store was moved to a new, more efficient platform, which allows better brand development and more efficient marketing activities. We have seen significant and positive impact of the project with growing customer acquisition and store performance.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
Excellent oversight from PM, very well structured approach with set deliverables and right experts in right positions. We have worked based on a store brief for the design phase with quick turn around which helped us focus very quickly on technical aspects and proper setup of marketing activities and positioning.
We opted for gradual transition from old store to new keeping both open, which allowed customers to transition at their pace, this proved to be an excellent approach. We used online meetings and emails for the development phase and now use our company SLACK for marketing work.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They were knowledgeable and upfront about what they could or could not do. We had negative experiences in the past with companies promising services they could not deliver. On the design side SINTRA's approach is based primarily on functionality while being open to customer visual design requirements.
Designers tend to feel very emotional about their projects which creates at times a point of attrition between client and designer, with SINTRA we felt very comfortable with the approach and clear communication.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
We suggest to switch to a more structured communication tool for the development part as well. Especially when running more than 1 project simultaneously.

After having good experiences with Sintra in a different project we were more than happy to include them in our pitch.

For the first project, we required a migration from Magento 1 to Magento 2. We wanted to increase the amount of content and introduce more functionalities which M1 did not offer.

For the second project, our website required a rework of the whole page.

Also, there was a need to have all the domains connected in order to be able to modify the content more easily and integrate it simultaneously on all domains.

Flexibility and eagerness to find a solution
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
