Carat Craft is a UAE-based luxury jewelry brand whose handcrafted, narrative-driven designs set the standard for bold self-expression. Its WooCommerce platform strained under luxury expectations, with sluggish load times and rigid architecture limiting personalized shopping. Carat Craft partnered with Devsinc for a seamless migration to Shopify, engineered to protect years of SEO equity and customer trust.
- Zero-Tolerance Data Migration. Every SKU carried gemstone certifications and provenance with no room for a dropped detail.
- SEO Equity on the Line. Years of hard-won search rankings could vanish behind a single misrouted URL.
- Two Architectures, One Deadline. WooCommerce's PHP/MySQL foundation had to give way to Shopify's Liquid framework without breaking stride.
- A Brand Customers Would Recognize. Any visual drift risked breaking the trust behind every heirloom purchase.
Devsinc blended automation with artisan-level oversight to recreate and elevate the WooCommerce ecosystem on Shopify.
- Data Alchemy. Custom scripts flawlessly migrated 500+ SKUs with certifications intact.
- Luxury Store Architecture. A new Shopify store matched the original design for full brand consistency.
- SEO Safeguards. 1:1 URL mapping with monitored 301 redirects prevented organic traffic loss.
- White-Glove Testing. Extensive QA covered product listings, customer data, and order processing.
- Sales Uplift: 28% Faster, mobile-optimized checkout drove AOV and Q1 conversions higher.
- Fast Browsing: 68% Post-optimization Lighthouse scores hit 92+, versus 48 on WooCommerce.
- Fast Backend: 3x Unified Shopify admin cut product upload time and synced inventory in real time.
