Migration, Custom Features & Consulting for Bloomify Plant World

Challenge

Bloomify is a growing e-commerce company specializing in flower and plant gifts. Originally built on Gambio, the shop had reached its technical and visual limits – and was hitting its limits in terms of scalability, SEO, and UX.

The goal was to migrate Bloomify to Shopify without any loss of visibility or functionality. At the same time, key sales features such as upselling, preferred delivery date, and discount logic were to be retained and further developed.

"It was important to us that no SEO value was lost during the switch and that we received a system that grows with us – technically, visually and strategically."

Daniel Schnadt, founder of Bloomify

Two major challenges defined the project:

• Complex migration from Gambio including JTL merchandise management.
  The data structure from JTL – including specific product attributes and tiered pricing – had to be cleanly transferred to Shopify and supplemented with dynamic metafields.
  
  
• Custom shop functions & conversion elements
  Bloomify did not want to abandon key features such as upselling, preferred delivery date and tiered discounts – these were to be redesigned as tailor-made functions.

Solution

FSR-Media handled the complete migration, technical rebuild and strategic support of Bloomify – with a special focus on data structure, SEO preservation and scalable code.

• Shop migration:
  Migration of the entire product catalog, landing pages, and SEO-relevant content from Gambio to Shopify. This includes transferring existing URL structures, metadata, and redirect strategies to maintain rankings.
  
  
• Custom Development:
  Implementation of numerous individual features:
  • Dynamic metafields from JTL for filtering & product display
  • Tiered pricing with automatic discount calculation
  • Desired delivery date with weekday logic & holiday check
  • Optimized Buy Box with clear CTA guidance
  • Upselling on product and shopping cart pages
  • Cart progress bar for psychological buying behavior
    
    
• Long-term support:
  FSR-Media has been supporting Bloomify as a sparring partner for over two years with technical extensions, conversion optimization and strategic advice – most recently also with the switch to Shopify Plus.

Results

Thanks to the well-thought-out migration process, targeted custom development and continuous improvement, Bloomify was not only able to maintain its visibility – but to increase it:

• 100% SEO value retention
  All existing rankings were maintained through redirection concepts and a 1:1 structure – with additional ranking gains on newly aligned pages.
  
  
• 7+ Custom Features successfully implemented
  Every function important to the business model was integrated without app overload – maintainable, lean and scalable.
  
  
• 2 years of support & strategic partnership
  From migration to the present day: technical growth, Shopify Plus consulting & monthly development sparring.

"The migration was technically complex – but FSR-Media implemented everything cleanly, quickly and thoughtfully. Today we work on a system that really suits us."
