Case Study: AAA State of Play achieves a safer, faster Magento 2 store with DesignRussia's migration expertise

AAA State of Play boosts catalog page views and simplifies checkout with DesignRussia

The customer, AAA State of Play, an online retailer of playground equipment, faced the challenge of migrating its e-commerce store from the outdated Magento 1 platform to the newer Magento 2. Vendor DesignRussia was tasked with this complex migration, which was complicated by Magento 2's then-unstable architecture, a lack of compatible plugins, and the need to manually transfer a significant amount of custom functionality and data.

DesignRussia implemented a comprehensive solution that involved extensive manual development to overcome the nascent platform's limitations, including creating custom scripts for data transfer and developing unique features like a quote request checkout. Despite the challenges, the successful migration resulted in a safer, more modern website with improved performance, a simplified checkout process, a more user-friendly admin panel, and increased catalog page views per hour.
