The Challenge

What we needed to solve.

  • WooCommerce database bloat caused slow page speeds and frequent checkout server crashes during sales.
  • Preserving ten years of organic Google SEO rankings across thousands of legacy URLs was mandatory.
  • Decades of customer account records, order histories, and complex product bundle rules needed error-free migration.
The Approach

How it was built.

01

Complete Data Import Pipeline

Wrote custom Python migration scripts to parse, sanitize, and import customer accounts, historical orders, and product catalogs via Shopify Matrixify and GraphQL Admin API.

02

301 Redirect Mapping Matrix

Mapped all 5,000+ legacy WordPress URLs to new Shopify URL structures with automated 301 redirect validation scripts.

03

GA4 & Data Layer Setup

Implemented comprehensive Google Analytics 4 tracking via Shopify Customer Events API for accurate attribution.
