The Challenge
GHOST sought to migrate their ecommerce platform to Shopify Plus to enhance their digital presence, streamline backend processes, and provide a more engaging user experience. The migration presented several key challenges: transferring extensive product listings, content, and historical data; preserving SEO rankings during migration; and integrating a custom loyalty program.
Additionally, the new website needed to maintain GHOSTās distinctive brand identity while incorporating a streamlined purchasing process for their expanding product line.

What We Did
Our scope of work for GHOST included the following key services:
Migration and 301 Redirects
We managed the migration of GHOSTās content, including their current sitemap, product listings, blogs, and historical data, to Shopify Plus. The migration excluded loyalty program data, which was handled separately by Swell. To mitigate SEO risks, we implemented a comprehensive 301 redirect strategy. Using tools such as Google Webmaster Tools, SEO Powersuite, and Shopifyās Transportr app, we ensured all existing URLs were redirected appropriately to preserve GHOSTās SEO performance.
Custom Theme Development
We coded out the design source files provided by GHOSTās external design team into a custom Shopify Plus theme. This involved developing key pages, including the homepage, product listing pages, ambassador profile pages, and lifestyle sections. The design was implemented using Shopifyās Liquid templating language, with a focus on ensuring mobile responsiveness, cross-browser compatibility, and a cohesive brand presentation that reflected GHOSTās energetic aesthetic.
Loyalty Program Integration
Swell managed the functional requirements of the loyalty program, while we handled the development of the user interface for the rewards program account section. This included recreating the loyalty dashboard to provide a seamless user experience consistent with the overall design of the new website.
Store Setup and Functionality
We set up GHOSTās Shopify store, including importing initial product SKUs and configuring the product listing and collection page templates. We also assisted in setting up the checkout process, integrating payment gateways, and connecting the store with shipping carriers to provide real-time shipping estimates. Additionally, we implemented automated tax calculations using Shopify Plusās Avalara Tax Software, ensuring a smooth checkout experience for customers.
App Integrations
We integrated a number of apps to enhance GHOSTās ecommerce operations, including:
Netsuite Integration
Integrated Netsuite using third-party connectors, such as Celigo, to streamline inventory and financial management.
Shippo
