Upgrading to 2.0

How do you upgrade to Online Store 2.0?

To take advantage of the new features, you might want to consider transitioning your store to Online Store 2.0 to stay ahead of competitors and keep up with your business’s growing demands.

There are several methods to do this:

Upgrading your existing theme, if your theme offers an updated Online Store 2.0 version
Migrating to a new Online Store 2.0 theme
Manually migrating your current theme and adding Online Store 2.0 functionality to the new architecture.

DISCUSS YOUR PROJECT

Can you upgrade to Online Store 2.0 yourself?

Unlike other updates, the Online Store 2.0 update can’t be automatically applied to your store. If you’re comfortable with editing HTML, CSS, and Liquid then it’s safe to upgrade your own theme to Online Store 2.0.

If coding’s not your thing, and let’s face it most business owners are more focused on running their business; then our team of Shopify Experts are here to help upgrade your current theme to Online Store 2.0 by migrating your current theme templates to the new architecture.

Choose from free themes like Shopify’s DAWN or a range of other paid 2.0 themes that align with your brand.

Things to consider when upgrading your theme to Online Store 2.0

Upgrading your theme can be a complex process. You’ll need to consider whether your current theme meets your needs before deciding to update your theme or move to a new theme.

To make sure an Online Store 2.0 upgrade is the right choice for your business, we firstly analyse your current store, map out what features may be currently lacking and what new features could really help your brand scale and grow.

Some themes have a vast amount of code and variables to consider. If you’ve had multiple apps and developers working on the site it may have unused JavaScript and other unnecessary things that slow down your store.

When migrating over to Shopify 2.0 we need to consider if this unnecessary code is migrated too, or whether its preferable to consider a full site rebuild.

How do you know if Online Store 2.0 is right for you?

Could your site speed be improved?
Are you looking to create a better user experience for your customers?
Do you feel your store is outdated and lacks features or content management possibilities?
Would you like to add more unique information to your products?
Do you need better filtering options for your store?
Do you need help assessing whether Online Store 2.0 is right for you?

If you answered yes to any of these questions it might be time to consider migrating to Shopify 2.0, upgrading overall performance and investing in the future growth of your business.

We've worked with Dash Creative on many projects over the years, trusting them with everything from ongoing website optimisations to the full ground-up design and builds of new brands and sites. Their work is always of excellent quality, and they back up their builds with fantastic support after delivery.Unlike many design agencies, they also have a great understanding of the need for websites to not only look amazing but also to deliver strong commercial results through user experience.They are a fantastic team to work with, always readily available and willing to go above and beyond to deliver results. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dash Creative as a partner for any business looking to establish or enhance their presense in the digital space.
