Challenge
Hair and Beauty Corp faced the challenge of consolidating three separate websites into a single platform without losing the diversity and tiered pricing structure each site previously offered. Additionally, Shopify’s inherent limitation of a three-tier navigation structure posed a hurdle, as the client required a four-tier menu for seamless navigation through their extensive product catalog.

Solution
Alchemative’s solution involved merging all data and product lines into a single, comprehensive Shopify Plus website. To accommodate B2B needs, we introduced a tier-based pricing system, effectively creating five discount levels - such as Student, VIP, and Trade Discounts - enabling personalized pricing for various customer segments. To bypass Shopify’s three-level navigation limitation, we strategically placed the fourth tier within the collection pages, preserving intuitive and efficient navigation.
Data Integration: Products and customer data from three websites were consolidated, ensuring a unified backend system with streamlined operations.
Tier-Based Pricing Setup: Utilizing Shopify Plus’s B2B features, we established five pricing tiers tailored to different customer groups, enhancing the personalized shopping experience.
Navigation Optimization: While Shopify allows only three levels of navigation, we developed a workaround by adding a fourth-level menu directly on the collection pages. This ensured that customers could browse easily across a complex catalog.
Implementation
Tailored Design: While keeping the brand identity in mind and leveraging industry trends, we created visually appealing and user-friendly interfaces that resonated with HBCL’s aesthetic values.
Intuitive Navigation: Simplified the browsing and purchasing process of HBCL’s vast product catalogue for various clusters of targeted customers through a four-tier menu navigation.
Responsive Development: Created a website that adapted seamlessly to different devices and screen sizes to ensure a consistent user experience for diverse preferences of online shoppers.
Data Migration: All 3 sites data was meticulously and carefully migrated on the new platform to keep the backlinks and previous SEO efforts intact.
Results
Built on Shopify Plus, this project consolidated multiple product catalogs and implemented sophisticated B2B pricing functionalities, providing an enriched shopping experience for professionals and end-users alike. The new Shopify Plus site for Hair and Beauty Corp achieved the following:
Enhanced User Experience: With a centralized catalog and tailored navigation, users can now seamlessly access products and view personalized pricing based on their tier.
Improved Operational Efficiency: By consolidating three sites into one, Hair and Beauty Corp simplified its inventory and order management, reducing overhead costs.
Increased B2B Engagement: The tiered pricing model attracted diverse customer segments, encouraging repeat purchases through targeted discounts.
