New site creation - HUGE volume of existing products/categories

[Streamwood]

Our needs:

We have an existing web store built on Candypress which we need to migrate to Shopify.  We KNOW NOTHING about Shopify so need someone to bootstrap the new web site and train me on its maintenance.

Work with the owner and me to determine what flavor of Shopify account, payment types, etc., best suit our needs.

This will be a web site with around 40,000 products divided into a few hundred categories/subcategories.  However, the sales volume is relatively low – less than a dozen customers per day – if that affects the Shopify account type.

We are not trying to reproduce the old web site exactly, but we do have all the current relevant databases from Candypress exported into CSV files.  They will undoubtedly need a little massaging but we are not creating anything new from scratch from a product standpoint.  All the products are defined and categorized.

We also have the existing customer database which we would like to get transferred so that existing customers just have to set new passwords but have all the rest of their information largely available without having to create new accounts.

We have all the images for the products in a directory structure which is referenced by the product CSV file.  Their migration is part of the puzzle.

I need to be trained on how to maintain the web site so that I can help the owners who have less computer experience.  In particular, they send me spreadsheets with a few hundred new items along with their images fairly often, so I need to learn how to massage them into whatever format(s) that Shopify needs to update current categories, create new categories, etc.

Consideration will favor whoever references how their skills meet our needs.  That is, if you just cut and pasted a stock reply which doesn’t reference anything in this lengthy needs list then I assume you didn’t read it and would expect the same degree of assistance if you were actually selected.

The above is the bulk of the work needed.  If rates are reasonable, we may also contract to help with the aesthetics after the product inventory is online.

Thanks,

Scott Dillard

Hi Scott - we hope you and your group are well. We have a lot of experience transitioning customers from one platform to another - often involving the movement of large product sets, customer bases, and custom functionality (old store to new must have components). We try to automate a lot of this with API’s and such, to save time.

We are certified Partners & Experts of Shopify, located minutes from their headquarters in Ottawa; we know the platform and people extremely well - and have been working with Shopify since 2006.

Whether you need a basic plan, or something more like Shopify Plus, we can help you make those informed decisions...now, and as your needs grow. We’re not just a partner of Shopify - but a partner of all our clients.

Hit us up via email at projects@whitewatersolutions.com if you would like to discuss further.

Cheers!
