Plugin Alliance by Native Instuments
E-Commerce Migration from Contao to Shopify. The previous system had been heavily customized over the years, as Contao is primarily a CMS that was adapted into an e-commerce platform. The goal was to migrate all content and functionalities to Shopify while preserving the site’s existing logic, user experience, and design elements—modernizing the setup for future scalability and easier maintenance.
