Shopify Headless Storefront Migration · Cover image

01 · The challenge

What needed solving

A 4,000-SKU catalogue on a stock Liquid theme was hitting 6s LCP, blowing the Core Web Vitals budget, and losing checkout conversions on mobile in PKR markets.

02 · Our approach

How we framed the work

We started with a discovery sprint to map the user journey, business goals and real constraints. From there we wrote a fixed-scope plan: clear milestones, weekly review gates on a staging URL, and a written exit criterion for every phase. The e-commerce space rewards teams that ship — not teams that plan — so we biased the engagement towards working software from week two onward.

03 · The solution

What we built

Headless rebuild on Next.js + Shopify Storefront API, edge-cached PDPs, locale-aware PKR / USD pricing, and a single-page checkout integrated with Stripe + JazzCash. 301 redirect map preserved 100% of legacy SEO.
