REASONS TO MIGRATE

Why migrate from SCAYLE to Shopify?

As a less established enterprise commerce solution, some of SCAYLE’s features are still very much in their infancy and its partner ecosystem remains limited.

Users may look to Shopify – a mature, feature-rich platform backed by an unparalleled network of tech and service partners – and see potential for faster innovation, better collaboration and bigger growth.

GartnerⓇ highlighted the differences between the two platforms in its 2023 Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Commerce, in which it ranked Shopify significantly higher than SCAYLE for both ‘completeness of vision’ and ‘ability to execute’.

On a mission to “redefine enterprise commerce”, Shopify’s value proposition includes benefits such as:

  • Best-converting checkout – Shopify’s checkout conversion rate outpaces the competition by up to 36%. This figure has been shown to rise up to 50% when Shop Pay is utilised.
  • Unlimited SKUs – Billion-dollar brands can easily host over one million products and variants.
  • Unrivalled R&D – In 2023 alone, Shopify invested $1.7B in research and development. A team of over 4,500 commerce engineers are committed to producing over 200 updates every year.
  • Development flexibility – Brands can architect their tech stacks in a way that suits them, taking a full stack approach, opting for a headless architecture, or selecting individual components for their stack.
  • Lower cost of ownership – Shopify is the industry’s most cost-effective commerce platform, with a TCO that’s on average 33% better than its competitors’. This, combined with a typical uplift in performance, often results in rapid growth for brands who migrate to Shopify.
  • Built for enterprise – Some of the globe’s leading and biggest brands – including the likes of Mattel, JB Hi-Fi, Sony, Patagonia and Skims – have successfully incorporated Shopify into their tech stacks.

HOW IT WORKS

Replatforming to Shopify

Swanky has extensive experience migrating brands to Shopify. From discovery and scoping to development and testing, we’ve refined a seamless process that prioritises data security, search ranking preservation, and customer experience.

Analysis & scoping

How well does your existing commerce stack meet your current needs and your future goals? This is what we’ll be considering during the initial phase of your migration project. We’ll also explore any international commerce requirements, scope any bespoke development work needed, and start crafting ‘look and feel’ concepts.

Designing page templates

Initial aesthetic concepts will be refined to create page template designs that effortlessly marry your brand guidelines with creativity and UX best practices.

Integrating third-party systems

With a dedicated integrations team at Swanky, we are perfectly positioned to connect your Shopify store with third-party business systems. This could be through pre-built connectors, bespoke-developed middleware solutions, or integration platforms like Patchworks or Jitterbit.

Importing product data

We’ll export your product data from SCAYLE and prepare it ready to be imported into Shopify.

Coding solutions

You can trust our industry-leading developers to code a high-performance Shopify website, along with any custom solutions required. We will handle any subscription and payment gateway migrations during this stage as well.

Importing order & customer data

Your order and customer data will be securely transferred from SCAYLE. It will be configured to suit Shopify’s structural requirements, and imported into your new platform.

Testing

Robust QA and user acceptance testing will ensure that your new Shopify site functions as expected, providing an intuitive, error-free experience to consumers.

Training & launch

We can provide training on core Shopify functionality ahead of launch. This support can extend to an ongoing retainer package, with flexibility around the services we deliver.
