About the Client

Fab Habitat is a home décor and lifestyle brand that brings together sustainability, creativity, and functionality. Known for its eco-friendly rugs, cushions, poufs, and accessories, the brand combines timeless design with sustainable practices to create products that fit seamlessly into modern living. As the business grew, Fab Habitat needed a more efficient and scalable eCommerce solution that would make shopping effortless for customers while simplifying backend management for the team.

CHALLENGES

Fab Habitat’s previous website was built on Magento, which came with increasing complexity and limitations for the team. Some of the main challenges included:

High technical maintenance and dependency on external support

Slower performance due to hosting and server requirements.

Outdated user experience that needed a more modern, responsive design.

Difficulty managing product data, reviews, and custom information in a structured way.

Limited flexibility in implementing new features without heavy development work.

SOLUTIONS

To overcome these challenges, we migrated Fab Habitat from Magento to Shopify, leveraging Shopify’s modern, secure, and scalable ecosystem. Our approach included:

Platform Migration – Shifted the entire store from Magento to Shopify, ensuring ease of use, built-in security, PCI compliance, and improved performance with integrated hosting.
Theme & Customization – Rebuilt the website using a clean Shopify theme with essential customizations to replicate and enhance existing functionalities.
Mobile Optimization – Ensured full responsiveness and optimized layouts across devices for a seamless shopping experience.
Custom Fields – Created fields in the backend to store and display structured product information with consistency.
Product Gallery Customization – Enhanced product detail pages with custom gallery features, including sliding thumbnails that adapt to product size requirements.

Data Migration – Transferred product reviews and key data from Magento to Shopify using specialized apps.
Custom Filters – Added advanced filtering options on collection pages for easy product discovery.
Customer Experience Enhancements – Implemented features like Back-in-Stock notifications, custom product variants, and cross-sell suggestions such as “Frequently Bought Together”.
Advanced Features – Integrated mega menu, gift card functionality, mystery product options, and other value-driven Shopify apps to enrich the shopping journey.

RESULTS

The new Fab Habitat website now runs on a modern, user-friendly Shopify platform that balances design, performance, and scalability. The migration not only simplified backend management but also delivered a faster, more reliable shopping experience for customers. With custom features like advanced filters, cross-sell functionality, and responsive product galleries, the website now showcases Fab Habitat’s collections in an engaging way. By eliminating technical overhead and unlocking Shopify’s ecosystem, Fab Habitat is well-positioned to scale its digital presence and deliver a smoother, more enjoyable shopping experience to its growing customer base.
