Hi there, hope you're having a great Friday!
This is Colm and Simon from CommerceGurus, with a handpicked weekly roundup of eCommerce articles.
This excellent one-hour video walkthrough by Rodolfo Melogli from the Business Bloomer channel documents the complete theme migration of his site, moving from the Storefront theme to our own Shoptimizer WooCommerce theme.
Rodolfo decided to make the switch after using Shoptimizer for his Checkout Summit event site and realizing its potential for superior performance, mobile optimization, and conversion-focused design, marking it as a solid upgrade for serious store owners.
The walkthrough provides a detailed, real-world account of how Rodolfo achieved a "zero-downtime" rebuild while maintaining the site's existing look and feel despite years of custom code.
Key steps covered include installing the Shoptimizer theme along with required plugins such as CommerceKit, matching the existing design by fine-tuning the layout, typography, and colors via the Customizer, and implementing Shoptimizer’s built-in conversion features.
The most notable feature additions include the Ajax search, distraction-free checkout, and the sticky add-to-cart bar, all of which aim to provide better design flexibility and significantly increase conversion rates.
If you are thinking of migrating any older WooCommerce store to a more modern theme, this is a superb video to watch and bookmark.
