Two Shopify Stores Merged Into One Marketplace

A retailer running two separate Shopify stores wanted them as a single multi-vendor marketplace — without taking either offline while it happened.

The challenge

  • Both stores were live and trading throughout — orders kept arriving during the migration.
  • Over ten thousand products had to move without losing data or creating duplicates.
  • Multi-vendor changes how products, orders and payouts work; it is a structural change, not an app install.
  • The client’s SEO agency needed the URL and structural picture to protect existing rankings.

What we did

  • Built the entire consolidation on staging first, so nothing was tested on the live store.
  • Configured Webkul Multi Vendor for the client’s actual vendor structure, working directly with the app’s developers on configuration the documentation does not cover.
  • Migrated 10,000+ products with their data intact, resolving overlaps between the two catalogues.
  • Coordinated with the client’s SEO agency so the search side was handled alongside the technical migration.
  • Cut over to production only once the staging build was signed off.

The outcome

  • Two stores consolidated into one multi-vendor marketplace.
  • 10,000+ products migrated and live.
  • Delivered in a week, with the store trading throughout.

02 — How we work

From first call to live — four steps, no surprises.

Every CloudyWP project runs the same way, whether it is a one-page site or a store with a thousand SKUs. Here is exactly what happens.

01

We map what you actually need.

A single scoping call, then a written plan: what gets built, what it costs, and when it ships. No discovery-phase invoices, no moving targets.

Typically 48 hours

02

We design and build it properly.

Custom WordPress or Shopify on clean code you own outright. Every build ships fast, passes Core Web Vitals, and is handed over documented.

2–6 weeks typical

03

We automate the busywork.

Your site talks to the tools you already run — CRM, invoicing, email, stock. The repetitive admin stops being someone's job and starts running itself.
