Peter Sheppard Footwear pride themselves on delivering their customers the perfect fit. UNfortunately this didn’t apply for their own eCommerce technology. Stuck on a niche legacy platform, it took the Peter Sheppard team up to 24 hours to make simple changes. It’s not quick enough in today’s eCommerce fast paced world. Enter Shopify Plus. Peter Sheppard migrated to Shopify Plus including a full pos migration, reliable media library and an automated recording suite, oh and did I mention? Instant updates. As a result, Peter Sheppard tripled their conversion rate and increased eCommerce revenue by 30%. Talk about some nimble footwork.
