Challenge #1. Magento 2 Migration

Initially, our team had one primary task eCommerce website migration to Magento 2 from another content management system. Miche wanted to reach more customers, create a loyal base, and grow your sales by leaps and bounds. Building the best online sports store is challenging, especially if you opt to do it alone. However, with our business and tech consulting skills, our experts can help solve all of your tech challenges for both new online and offline businesses. Moreover, Nike and Helly Hansen currently use Magento for their online sports store.

Challenge #2. GDPR

Further, we had to install the Magento 2 GDPR extension that helps eCommerce stores get ready for the General Data Protection Regulation.
Our Point of View
The GDPRs mission is essentially philanthropic, with two key aims in mind:
Ensure that individual users personal data is always treated with respect.
Remove barriers to data exchange across areas by harmonizing legislation across nations.
Overall, the GDPR is nearly solely concerned with personal data, which refers to a variety of unique user information. Specifically, everything that may be used to identify a person.

GDPR Compliance Tools for Magento 2

• Lubendas GDPR toolkit
• Sifterys GDPR Checker
• Algolias GDPR search tool
• GDPR Email Copy
• GDPR Form
• ECOMPLY.io
• SOS GDPR Kit for Digital Marketers
• Ultimate GDPR Quiz
• GDPR Compliant Badges

Challenge #3. Customisation

To cap it all, our experts had to handle deep customisations in the online shops layout and adjust the front-end part, as well as carry out customisations for a product selection and display. Besides, we should set up a price change on configurable products.
We have compiled a helpful list of the 9 top features that you need to grow your sales goals successfully.
Recipe for Conversion Growth
We have compiled a helpful list of the 5 top features that you need to grow your sales goals successfully.

1. Navigation

Shoppers dislike confusing and difficult-to-navigate websites. Do not hesitate to use a mega-menu to display things on the navigation website to your shoppers proudly. Also, dont be afraid to use short links to bring your customers to the information you want them to see.

2. Filters & Layered Navigation

When designing a sports store website, youll want to include filters first, followed by photos to show how they work. In addition, you can list other attributes and sports-related things that will partner well. Consider using images to showcase the filters. The filters may also be found in the sidebar, which is in an easily accessible place of the screen where your customers will be able to view and use the feature.

3. Needs & Sports Goods Matching

You may even provide advice to assist the customer in making an intelligent decision. Having a match help section is a significant benefit that most customers appreciate and value.

4. High-Converting Product Page

Humans are very visual creatures by nature. Most buyers prefer to look at photos and other appealing items rather than read a lot. People want to see what theyre getting before they buy it; therefore, theyll want to look at it from every aspect. You simply cant overdo it with images. Utilise colours and distinguishing typography to make your brand clearly recognisable. You can absolutely attract attention with appealing content, graphics, and colourful font.

5. Upselling and Cross-Selling

Upselling techniques, along with renewals, are exceedingly popular. You can add similar goods to the product pages of each sports shop. When potential buyers see anything that interests them, they will click on it. Youll keep the buyer on your website for a more extended period, which may help them plan and finalise the purchase.
