    This is my first use of Cart2Cart migration process and this company is awesome! My company managed lots of migration manually before trying C2C and actually we love them. Support is the best ever (thank all!) and service is A +++.

    Absolute BEST! Very inexpensive (was quoted $1500 from another design company, compared to only $140), lightning fast speed with their responses, knowledgeable, and of course saved me a ton of quality time I don’t have. Will be using them again for an additional website.

    Used Cart2Cart to migrate https://www.tesland.com. Ideal saves you a ton of time. Even have the option to do it multiple times so you can set up the new site with the correct data in it. And then before you go live with the new site, you can import the latest data again.

    SunShop Monthly Pulse: Fortifying the Enterprise Core

    This month, SunShop's trajectory was not defined by disruptive announcements but by a series of deliberate, high-impact enhancements aimed squarely at its core enterprise and mid-market clientele. The narrative emerging is one of strategic fortification, focusing on the foundational pillars of performance, security, and composable architecture. SunShop is doubling down on its reputation as the platform of choice for businesses where reliability and sophisticated customization are non-negotiable, signaling a clear focus on long-term, sustainable growth over fleeting market hype.

    Industry Footprint: Solidifying a Leadership Position in B2B Commerce

    While direct market share figures remain steady, SunShop's influence in the high-stakes B2B sector received significant third-party validation this month. The newly released Forrester Wave™ for B2B Commerce Suites recognized SunShop as a "Strong Performer," citing its robust multi-store architecture and native wholesale capabilities. This placement is critical; it reinforces SunShop's value proposition not just as a retail platform, but as a complex digital commerce engine capable of handling intricate B2B purchasing workflows, a key differentiator in an increasingly crowded market.

    Core Infrastructure Resilience: The "Project Bedrock" Initiative

    SunShop rolled out its "Project Bedrock" update, a significant behind-the-scenes infrastructure overhaul. While not a merchant-facing feature, its impact is profound. The update focused on optimizing database query performance by an average of 18% and enhancing its global CDN caching logic. For a high-volume merchant, this translates directly to faster page loads during peak traffic, a more resilient checkout process, and ultimately, a higher conversion rate. This investment in the core platform demonstrates a commitment to stability and scalability, reassuring enterprise clients that the foundation can support their growth.

    Unlocking Headless Composability: The New GraphQL Storefront API

    Perhaps the most strategically significant update this month was the expansion of SunShop's GraphQL API, which now includes advanced endpoints for managing complex product taxonomies and customer-specific pricing tiers. This is more than a simple developer update; it is a direct enabler of composable commerce strategies. By providing granular API access, SunShop empowers large brands to build highly customized, headless front-end experiences on modern frameworks like React or Vue.js, while still relying on SunShop's powerful back-end for commerce logic. This move is a clear signal that SunShop is catering to the sophisticated technical teams of its largest customers.

    Strategic Merchandising: The Launch of "SunShop Cortex"

    The flagship feature release of the month is "SunShop Cortex," a new AI-powered merchandising suite. Moving beyond basic product recommendations, Cortex allows merchants to create dynamic, rule-based product bundles and personalized landing pages based on real-time user behavior and inventory levels. For a retailer with a vast and complex catalog, this tool solves a critical problem: surfacing the right product to the right customer at the right time, without manual intervention. It’s a powerful lever for increasing average order value and a compelling reason for data-driven brands to choose the platform.

    Bolstering Global Compliance and Trust

    In a move that underscores its commitment to data security, SunShop announced it has achieved ISO 27701 certification, a global standard for Privacy Information Management Systems. For businesses operating in multiple jurisdictions with varying privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA, this certification is a crucial mark of trust. It streamlines compliance audits and provides executive-level assurance that the platform handles sensitive customer data according to the highest international standards, reducing risk for its merchants.

    Expanding Cross-Border Capabilities in APAC

    SunShop has deepened its global reach by announcing a strategic partnership with PayAsia, a leading payment gateway and logistics provider in the Southeast Asian market. This integration provides SunShop merchants with seamless, localized payment options and streamlined fulfillment across key markets like Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. This isn't just about adding a new payment method; it's about reducing the friction of international expansion and providing the tools for brands to tap into one of the world's fastest-growing e-commerce regions.

    Notable Brand Migration: AeroComponent Solutions Takes Flight on SunShop

    The strategic power of these platform updates is perfectly illustrated by the recent launch of AeroComponent Solutions, a leading B2B supplier of industrial aerospace parts, on SunShop. An analysis of their complex needs suggests the choice was deliberate. AeroComponent likely required the new GraphQL API to build a custom portal for its enterprise buyers, the ISO 27701 certification to meet stringent industry data security requirements, and the "Project Bedrock" performance guarantee to ensure its site remains fast and reliable for engineers searching a catalog of over 200,000 SKUs. This migration is a testament to SunShop's successful strategy of building a robust, secure, and flexible platform for demanding B2B use cases.
