Keyzar Jewelry launched on Etsy and saw early sales jump but hit the limits of that platform. Rising fees cut into profits at the same time as they needed more freedom over branding and customer experience. The lack of advanced marketing features and detailed customer data meant they could not run targeted campaigns at scale. This was a major roadblock as sales growth accelerated.
After comparing options, Keyzar’s team chose Shopify for its robust architecture and low downtime record under peak traffic. The platform offered a fully customizable checkout, built-in fraud protection via Shopify Payments, and an ecosystem of growth tools. Importantly, it supported custom theme development with frameworks likeHydrogen, giving devs freedom to optimize for speed.
The migration process involved transferring product data, setting up the new theme, and testing every payment flow. By using Shopify’sHydrogenframework, they cut page load time from 3.5 seconds to 2.1 seconds, a 40% drop. That speed boost alone lifted conversion rate 15%. Developers also configuredShopify Flowautomations to handle inventory alerts and customer segmentation, halving rollout time for new features.
Keyzar switched all transactions toShopify Payments, adding installment options. The team tweaked checkout elements—simplified fields, fewer redirects, and clear trust badges. That work drove a 12% rise in average order value and an 18% increase in completed checkouts. A faster, cleaner checkout felt smooth to customers and helped reduce cart abandonment.
With built-in analytics and deeper customer data, Keyzar could target segments with custom offers. They synced Google Analytics data to refine ad spend, and used email campaigns based on purchase history. Tracking real-time metrics meant they spotted friction points fast and iterated on design tweaks every two weeks.
The combined improvements fueled steady results. Since launch, Keyzar has seen monthly revenue climb by 7% each month, a consistent streak that made budgeting and expansion planning more reliable. Cutting feature rollout from four weeks to two saved internal hours and kept the brand moving ahead of holiday peaks.
Keyzar plans to add new collections and use augmented reality try-on tools next. They will lean on Shopify’s partner network to test solutions before full launch. With infrastructure in place, the team can try ideas without risking downtime or delaying new features.
