Case Study: Cafeshi – Full Migration to Shopify for a Specialty Coffee Brand

Background

Cafeshi is a brand dedicated to selling specialty coffee, offering carefully selected beans and blends for true coffee enthusiasts. Their focus is on quality, flavor, and craftsmanship, bringing a premium coffee experience to their customers. To enhance their digital presence and streamline operations, Cafeshi decided to migrate their website to Shopify, ensuring a more modern, stable, and scalable e-commerce platform.
