Integrations
Shopify Galaxy meticulously orchestrated the integration of cutting-edge functionalities into Beyond Skate’s Shopify store, aiming to elevate user interaction and streamline operations. Leveraging the Appointo app, customers seamlessly booked skate lessons and clinic appointments, facilitating convenient scheduling and enhancing customer engagement. The integration of the Search and Discovery app proved pivotal, offering advanced filtration options on collection and product pages, empowering users to swiftly explore and locate desired items. Moreover, the Retail Express app’s integration facilitated a smooth inventory management system, enabling customers to effortlessly identify alternative variants of their preferred products in physical stores. This synchronized integration not only improved user experience but also bridged the gap between online browsing and physical shopping, augmenting customer satisfaction and loyalty.
UI & UX Enhancements
Shopify Galaxy’s focus on UI & UX enhancements was pivotal in refining Beyond Skate’s digital interface for optimal user engagement. The rebranding of the navigation bar to a full-width minimalist design was instrumental in decluttering the layout while enhancing ease of navigation. This transformation ensured a seamless transition across various devices, delivering a consistent and visually appealing experience to users irrespective of their chosen platform. Moreover, the meticulous execution of a mobile-first design strategy underscored Shopify Galaxy’s commitment to prioritizing mobile user experience.
CHALLENGE #001
Platform Upgrade and App Integration
The initial challenge revolved around upgrading Beyond Skate’s theme from Shopify 1.0 to 2.0. The existing custom-made theme faced compatibility issues with Shopify’s updates, impeding integration with essential apps like the search and discovery app and hindering the incorporation of newer functionalities and improvements.
SOLUTION #001
App Integration and User Experience
Shopify Galaxy undertook a meticulous approach, leveraging the Shopify theme kit to tailor a design compatible with Shopify 2.0 architecture while preserving the minimalist aesthetic desired by Beyond Skate. Custom product pages were developed, maintaining the essence of the old theme’s design while implementing innovative variations and API integration for inventory data, facilitating customers in finding physical variants of desired products in-store.

Coordinating these integrations while ensuring a streamlined user experience posed significant hurdles.

Customizations included hiding variation options for single-variant products on collection pages, building a dedicated search page, and crafting a custom-coded mega menu for efficient data showcase. Detailed brand landing pages were created, optimizing user navigation, and enhancing customer experience. Additionally, CRO was enhanced by adding custom collection sections on the homepage.
Results
