The Problem with WooCommerce
Wholesale Church Supplies was operating a WooCommerce site that had become increasingly outdated, inflexible, and difficult to manage. While the business was growing, the platform was holding them back operationally and visually.
- A restrictive theme that prevented impactful branding or product merchandising
- Plugin conflicts that regularly caused errors and required developer intervention
- Hosting and maintenance costs that didn’t reflect the value received
- A non-technical internal team unable to manage content without developer support
The team needed a modern eCommerce solution that was easier to manage, more cost-effective, and capable of supporting their growing B2B and retail presence.
The ReCart.me Migration Plan
ReCart.me developed a future-focused Shopify build tailored to Wholesale Church Supplies’ dual goals: operational efficiency and visual modernisation.
Platform Setup
- Migrated all order, customer, and product data from WooCommerce to Shopify
- Built the new store using Shopify’s Dawn theme, optimised for performance and flexibility
Design & Visual Merchandising
- Implemented a fully responsive, professionally styled theme
- Customised product and collection layouts to enhance browsing and visibility
- Built templates for easy internal page creation
Content & Admin Improvements
- Introduced a modular content structure to allow non-technical staff to update pages, products, and promotions
- Enabled the team to independently manage seasonal offers, new products, and key landing pages
Functionality Implemented
- Installed a set of trusted core apps to extend Shopify’s admin usability
- Developed a custom wholesale portal to support B2B pricing behind a login wall
- Structured the Shopify backend for long-term scalability — including dual B2B and D2C capabilities
Key Challenges Solved
- Replaced an outdated WooCommerce store with a modern, high-performing Shopify build
- Eliminated plugin conflicts and hosting costs by switching to a single platform subscription
- Empowered internal staff to manage products, promotions, and content without developer input
- Delivered a centralised wholesale experience that supports B2B pricing and access control
Results & Outcomes
- Reduced costs by eliminating hosting and WordPress maintenance overhead
- Fully enabled internal management of product data, content, and promotions
- Streamlined wholesale operations with a secure B2B login portal
- Improved user experience and navigation, particularly on mobile and tablet
