From a Broken WooCommerce Store to a Scalable Shopify Experience
E-commerce Strategy, UX/UI Design, Shopify Development, Product Visual Design, Payment Integration, Custom App Development and Launch Management
Project Overview
Umandawa Online Store had an existing WooCommerce website, but the platform was no longer supporting the business effectively. The mobile interface was visually inconsistent, the checkout experience was unreliable, payment methods did not work correctly, and managing orders was difficult for the internal team.
I rebuilt the entire e-commerce experience on Shopify, creating a cleaner, faster, and easier-to-manage online store. This was not only a website redesign—it was a complete transformation of the company’s digital sales and order-management process.
The Challenge
The previous WooCommerce store had several major problems. It required a reliable e-commerce foundation that could support daily operations and future growth.

The Solution
01 — Platform
I migrated the store from WooCommerce to Shopify to provide a more stable, secure and manageable e-commerce system.
02 — Experience
I redesigned the storefront with a cleaner and more professional visual direction that better represents the Umandawa brand.
03 — Visuals
The original product images were inconsistent and did not create a strong premium appearance. I recreated and enhanced the product visuals for a cleaner, more professional store presentation.
04 — Payments
The previous payment experience was unreliable and created difficulties for customers. I implemented PayHere and tested the complete payment journey.
05 — Operations
The delivery partner did not provide an existing Shopify application. I developed a custom order-tracking app connecting Shopify orders with the delivery workflow.
Before and After
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| Unstable WooCommerce website | Reliable Shopify store |
| Broken and outdated mobile UI | Responsive, modern mobile experience |
| Inconsistent product imagery | Polished and consistent visuals |
| Payment issues | PayHere payment integration |
| Difficult order management | Simplified Shopify order workflow |
| No delivery integration | Custom order-tracking application |
| ~3 orders per month | 68 orders in the first month |
The Results
The Shopify analytics dashboard below shows the real impact of the rebuild—not just a better-looking store, but measurable growth from day one.
~3
orders / month
68
orders
Before: A broken WooCommerce store averaging ~3 orders per month
After: 68 confirmed orders in the first month on Shopify
That is more than 20× the previous monthly volume—proof that the platform, UX, payments, and fulfilment workflow were rebuilt for real sales, not just aesthetics.
