Magento to Shopify Migration for Royale Stones
How GeoCommerce migrated a large-scale Irish tiles and paving brand from Magento to Shopify — redesigning the complete storefront, building custom buying logic, and delivering a 40% increase in sales.
The Challenge
Turning a Complex Offline Buying Process Into Clear Ecommerce
Royale Stones was not a simple catalogue store. The business needed a Shopify experience capable of handling thousands of products, complex buying logic, and an offline-style purchase process — all while preserving organic search visibility during migration.
Scale & Complexity
With 2,000+ products spanning outdoor paving, floor tiles, wall tiles, bathroom tiles, kitchen tiles, cladding, vanity units, pergolas, and more — the catalogue demanded robust navigation with filtering by type, colour, size, surface, effect, material, finish, suitability, thickness, and anti-slip grade.
The storefront also required 20+ unique product page templates to handle different buying journeys across product categories.
Custom Buying Logic
Tiles and paving aren't bought like typical ecommerce products. The store needed to support multiple purchase units, calculators, and delivery scheduling.
- Magento to Shopify full platform migration
- SEO migration to protect organic visibility
- Complex product buying logic (SQM, slab, pallet, coverage)
- Product calculators and wastage calculation
- Delivery scheduling system
- Sample product ordering
- 20+ product page templates
- Large-catalogue collection filtering
