The Challenge: High-Stakes Enterprise E-Commerce Migration
Operating a high-scale e-commerce brand generating tens of thousands of orders monthly leaves zero room for error. Keranique's legacy monolithic commerce platform suffered from frequent server crashes during televised marketing campaigns, high hosting overhead, and slow mobile loading speeds that impaired paid ad conversion.
The migration demanded rigorous engineering execution:
- Migrating extensive historical customer data, password hashes, order histories, and recurring subscription profiles without disrupting active recurring billing cycles.
- Protecting Keranique's valuable organic search traffic and search engine rankings by mapping comprehensive 1-to-1 301 SEO redirects across thousands of legacy URLs.
- Rebuilding their custom visual design into a high-speed Shopify Plus theme engineered for sub-second mobile page loads.
- Executing the final DNS cutover during active traffic with zero minutes of store downtime.
