REASONS TO MIGRATE

Why migrate from Sana Commerce to Shopify Plus?

Sana Commerce is a ready-to-use commerce platform that’s primarily engineered for B2B. Despite its popularity amongst B2B retailers, users often cite feeling unsupported when it comes to technical issues. Other frustrations include the time it takes to implement custom features on-site and having to rely on costly developers to implement simple changes.

Whilst B2B has traditionally been perceived as a weakness of Shopify, a significant overhaul of its B2B functionality in 2022 – and consistent feature development ever since – means that the platform is now a serious contender for dissatisfied Sana Commerce users looking for a new B2B commerce solution.

Today, Shopify B2B leverages all the powerful hallmark features of the platform’s DTC offering, making it a compelling option for fast-evolving brands that want to serve up slick digital experiences for buyers. From customised storefronts and checkouts, to optimised workflow automations and intuitive self-serve purchasing, Shopify offers B2B commerce designed for scale.

As well as flexible and innovative B2B features, Shopify boasts an exceptional app ecosystem, rapid code-free customisations, 24/7 expert support, and enterprise-grade performance. And, according to Gartner®, Shopify’s ‘completeness of vision’ and ‘ability to execute’ is significantly higher than that of Shopify. Sana is ranked as a ‘Niche Player’ in the Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Commerce, whereas Shopify has been named a ‘Leader’.

HOW IT WORKS

Swanky’s ecommerce migration process

We’ve refined a smooth and secure migration process, leveraging our many years of experience to ensure a successful transition to Shopify. Here’s what you can expect when you work with Swanky to migrate from Sana Commerce to Shopify:

Discovery & initial designs

To start, we’ll complete a comprehensive discovery process that assesses your current website and wider tech stack. With a better understanding of your existing setup and your requirements moving forwards, our UX designers will create initial ‘look and feel’ concepts.

Page template design

Next, our designers will craft page template designs. They will use the findings from the previous stage to create compelling designs that engage your target audience and perfectly communicate your brand’s value proposition.

Shopify store integrations

We have experience working with marketing leading integration platforms like Patchworks to seamlessly connect Shopify stores with third-party business systems. This will streamline the flow of data across your business and create a better experience for you and your customers.

Import product data

We will export your product data from Sana Commerce and import it into Shopify – taking into account any differences in the way this data is configured across platforms.

Development

During this stage, our in-house development team will build a fast and responsive Shopify website for your brand. This includes the completion of any custom development outlined in the agreed project scope.

Import order & customer data

We will transfer your order and customer details from Sana Commerce to Shopify. This will be led by one of our experienced Project Managers to ensure a frictionless export/import process.

Quality assurance

Swanky’s dedicated QA team will complete various tests before your store is launched. Meanwhile, your team will carry out critical user acceptance testing.

Testing & ongoing support

Your team can leverage the knowledge of our certified Shopify Plus Experts to get up to speed on the Shopify platform. We can also provide support on an ongoing basis as part of a flexible retainer program.
