TOG Knives’ Migration from WooCommerce to Shopify

Overview

TOG Knives, a British-Japanese brand renowned for its handcrafted kitchen knives, sought a more flexible and conversion-driven eCommerce platform. While their previous WooCommerce store prioritised aesthetics, it lacked an optimised purchase journey, resulting in friction for customers trying to find and buy products. WIRO was engaged to migrate their store to Shopify and implement design improvements focused on optimising the purchase journey.
