About
Huzaro

Huzaro is a Polish brand of gaming and office furniture, offering gaming chairs, office chairs, desks, gaming stations, accessories, and sim racing products, among others. The brand positions itself as a manufacturer of equipment for gamers and individuals looking to create a modern, functional space for gaming, work, or study.

Challenges

Huzaro conducted online sales in a fragmented environment that required migration, data organization, and adaptation to the needs of international eCommerce. The Polish version of the store was built on Shoper. The version serving the German market operated on PrestaShop. The key challenge was to transfer stores, products, content, translations, customers, and orders to Shopify in a secure, consistent manner, with minimal disruption to ongoing sales.

The project required not only technical migration but also the development of a new frontend: homepage, product listings, product pages, categories, blog, gallery, search engine, and conversion-supporting elements. It was also crucial to prepare the store for various domains, languages, and markets.

The project included the import of products, metafields, customers, orders, blogs, and translations from PrestaShop. The scope of migration required maintaining data consistency, correct URLs, product structures, and content across different language versions.

Huzaro's offering includes many types of products, categories, and series, such as chairs, desks, office furniture, ergonomic products, accessories, and sim racing gear. It was necessary to prepare a clear architecture for categories, listings, product pages, and product relationships.

The store required the transfer and organization of translations, preparation of metafields in various languages, and handling of URLs and SKUs in the context of international domains, including huzaro.cz, huzaro.de, huzaro.lt, and huzaro.ro.

The project encompassed both migration work and ongoing support, configuration, analytics, checkout development, and post-implementation fixes. It was crucial to combine these efforts with the operational stability of the store.

Solution

Attomy supported Huzaro in the comprehensive migration and development of their Shopify store. The scope of work included data import, environment configuration, and the implementation of new frontend elements and sales-supporting features.

The project was implemented in stages: from data migration and basic configuration, through the development of templates and key store views, to optimizations related to multilingualism, checkout, search engine, and content management. The migration of subsequent language versions was divided into sequentially implemented stages.

Data Migration to Shopify Plus

We imported products, metafields, customers, orders, blogs, and translations from PrestaShop. In doing so, we implemented a product data structure based on metafields and metaobjects, tailored to Huzaro's complex offering.

Development of Key Store Views

We implemented the frontend elements necessary for convenient sales: homepage, product listings, categories, product pages, chair series, gallery, similar and recommended products, and a section with key product information.

New Blog Template and Per-Domain Content Management

We prepared a blog template and imported blog content. Additionally, we implemented a mechanism for hiding blogs per domain, allowing the store to better manage content based on market and language version. We imported translations from PrestaShop, prepared scripts supporting the translation of CSV exports into other languages, and implemented metafield translations from Polish to German.

Development and Optimization of the Purchase Process

We optimized the purchase process by introducing changes to the cart. We implemented solutions improving UX and offer transparency, including elements related to the Omnibus directive, a progress bar indicating free shipping for various markets, and an estimated shipping cost visible before proceeding to payment. This made the process more transparent and better adapted to customer expectations.

Analytics, Configuration, and Post-Implementation Support

We supported analytics configuration, ongoing support, project meetings, technical fixes, and the analysis of further development areas, including additional information on shipping costs.

Successful Huzaro Migration to Shopify

  • The migration included products, metafields, customers, orders, blogs, and translations, creating a stable foundation for further eCommerce development.
  • Organizing metafields and metaobjects facilitated the management of the extensive product offering.
  • An improved data structure allowed for more effective presentation of parameters, series, product information, and sales content.

Extended and optimized store frontend

  • The store was better adapted for selling products requiring detailed presentation, such as gaming chairs, desks, and accessories.

Readiness for multilingual and multi-market sales with Shopify Markets

  • The new Huzaro store was prepared from the outset for cross-border commerce, expansion into multiple markets, and further growth.

  • Imported and organized translations for target markets.

“We needed a partner who, in close cooperation with our team, would guide us through a complex technological process, organize the eCommerce foundations, and prepare Huzaro for further international expansion. Attomy delivered this project with great commitment and a very good understanding of our business goals. We particularly appreciate the transparent communication, efficient work management, and partnership approach to jointly creating business value. Thanks to the Shopify implementation, we gained greater control over the store, its offerings, and processes, and Huzaro now has a stable base for scaling sales in other European markets.”
