Roller Rabbit required a more robust platform version

Roller Rabbit was founded in 2003 and since that time has developed into a lifestyle brand selling plenty of products such as clothing for men, women, and children, accessories, bedding, and home furnishings. Roller Rabbit dips its customers in a wonderful world of colors, playful prints, and textures. The playful Indian prints and hand-made nature helped Roller Rabbit to become a well-known contemporary lifestyle brand.

Roller Rabbit ran their ecommerce store on Magento 1 Commerce Edition. When the Roller Rabbit’s team came to know that Magento is ending support for its Magento 1 version, they decided to upgrade their store to the latest version of Magento 2 to take their business to the next level. The company opted for Magento 2 to make the website secure, enhance the website performance, improve technical architecture, and get the latest features.

We think that a little imperfect is just the right amount of perfect.

Magento 2 upgrade is a perfect way to get a store with a fresh look and new functionality

A custom design

Migration is an ideal time to address all the design flaws, including upgrading the graphics, revamping the layout, and organizing the content. The themes of Magento 1 can’t be moved to Magento 2 as they are not compatible, and needed to be implemented again to fit the new version of the platform. Roller Rabbit had to either find a new, ready-made template or create a new design from scratch. Roller Rabbit needed to bring freshness and elegance to the website interface, thus decided to develop a custom design from scratch.

Advanced SEO

Roller Rabbit also needed to improve their site rankings and get on the top of Google SERP. By upgrading to the latest Magento 2 version they could take a step in the right direction. Magento 2 has introduced many enhancements in SEO (search engine optimization). Magento introduced the Schema.org tool to improve the search engine rankings and added rich snippets on catalog pages to make product data easier to crawl by search engines.

Custom marketing tools

One of the top priorities for Roller Rabbit was to attract new customers and gain their loyalty. Thus, they needed to integrate custom marketing tools that could help them reach that goal.

Roller Rabbit found Elogic on the internet. After thorough research and analysis on different levels, they decided to choose us as their Magento migration partner.

We had everything they were searching for: expertise in Magento 2 migration and certified Magento 2 front and backend developers.

Magento 2 migration. Custom design. New functionality.

The Roller Rabbit website was built with Magento 1. To upgrade to the Magento 2.3.2 version we needed to import all the information about the products and customers. Our work on the project involved the following milestones:

Migrating all data from Magento 1 to Magento 2
Creating a new custom design
Developing a custom functionality with Magento 2

Third-party integrations

Custom shipping rate by Magepal

Custom shipping rate extension provides complete control of your shipping options. Whether you are creating a new order or canceling an existing order, the extension allows you to easily apply a custom flat fee shipping rate to the admin order in a fast way. It also demonstrates a simple list of flat rates to your customers. This free extension was useful for Roller Rabbit as they tended to do many phone orders or mail orders. The extension helped to simplify this process.

Magento 2 social share by Mageplaza

Social Share for Magento 2 is an extension that allows you to place multiple sharing buttons such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, and LinkedIn on your Magento website easily. This extension gives the possibility to place buttons in an easily seen position and smoothly redirect your customers to their social accounts to share your product content. With Social Share extension you can customize button size and color, icon color, and background color to match well with a website template. By implementing Social share extension on your store you can increase brand awareness, boost brand credibility, drive more traffic, and improve site ranking efficiently.

Search autocomplete by Mageworx

This Search Autocomplete extension is aimed to make searching easy and intuitive by foreseeing users’ requests based on the letters they have typed. Therefore, shoppers get accurate results and find the searched products faster. As-you-type suggestions help customers move from the search box to the checkout as early as possible. With the Search Autocomplete module, you can customize search functionality based on your requirements, set an autocomplete search delay, show the "Add to Cart" button next to each result, personalize search queries, filter instant search queries by relevance and price, and add a customizable AJAX pop-up.

Address Autocomplete by ShipperHQ

The Address Autocomplete module simplifies the checkout by providing a list of addresses based on the customer's location. As the visitor is entering the address, the extension generates a list of addresses that match the location. Once a shopper chooses one of the returned addresses the system automatically fills address fields with selected results. The extension uses the Places library in the Google Maps JavaScript API.

AfterPay

AfterPay extension is the system operating in Northern and Western Europe, provided by Arvato Financial Solutions. With this extension, you can provide after payment as an option during the checkout process. The shopper can try the item before paying, send back the product they don't want within 14 days, and only pay for what they keep. Customers can also combine numerous invoices into a single payment or divide invoices into monthly payments.
