Migros

Migros Germany and Austria represent the final store within the extensive Delica project. In just five weeks, the existing shop was successfully migrated from Shopware to Shopify Plus. The goal of the project was to modernize the store technically and introduce a new theme, while simultaneously maintaining the familiar look and feel of the previous shop.

Implementation

As part of the project, a new technical approach was adopted with the introduction of the Horizon Theme, which has proven to be both powerful and stable. In close collaboration with Delica, the frontend was implemented to ensure that the design and user experience align with the previous store, maintaining brand recognition for existing customers. Simultaneously, a complete migration of all relevant data from the legacy Shopware system was performed in the backend.

A particular challenge was the Horizon Theme's new customer login, which was not intended for use. To address this, the team developed a workaround that successfully integrated the Horizon Theme with the legacy login account system. This allowed the store to leverage the advantages of the new theme without having to sacrifice existing login processes.

With the successful go-live, the final store of the Delica project is now complete, leaving Migros DE / AT perfectly positioned on Shopify Plus for future developments.
