Shopify 2.0 Upgrades

Shopify 2.0 (or Online Store 2.0) offers more customization options and better app integrations. Most Shopify store owners can handle the upgrade, but if you have a custom theme or unique integrations, our experts can help make the transition seamless.

What is a Shopify 2.0 upgrade?

Shopify 2.0 is a better-integrated upgrade from the original Shopify Online Store. This version has significantly improved performance metrics and is easier to use with the Shopify App Store, helping you build the functionality you need while maintaining the performance your customers expect.

Upgrading to Shopify 2.0 involves migrating your site from one codebase to another and ensuring your theme and page templates transition seamlessly to the new architecture. This lets you fully benefit from all the enhancements made since the initial release and throughout its updates.

→ Site Speed Development

In recent years, Google has been pushing webmasters to boost site speed, offering the carrot of a slight rankings bump (though they're tight-lipped about it - thanks, Google). While a ranking boost is great, the real win is the significant positive impact on conversion rates.

→ Shopify Checkout Customization

While Shopify sites have always been customizable to an extent, there was a time in the pretty recent past when a Shopify site was more recognizably Shopify than any particular brand. The last area where that was the case was the checkout - but, for Shopify Plus customers, it doesn’t have to be anymore! Brands can now customize their checkout to better represent their brand and better suit their needs.

→ In-housing Functionality

During the lifespan of a Shopify site, there’ll be times when growing and scaling a brand leads to you outgrowing some of the apps that were essential during your formative years. Whether that’s because it isn’t capable of scaling with you, or the need for other, more important features are beginning to cause performance issues, in-housing functionality can be the answer.

→ UX & UI Development

From site navigation to all the fun things you can do with buttons, user experience and user interface development plays a vital role in how every single customer experiences your website (and interacts with it, to be fair). Providing the best customer experience isn’t just a ‘nice-to-have’, it can be the difference between a sale and an abandoned basket.
