Gastona: WooCommerce move with subscriptions

We moved Gastona, an Italian online brand of bamboo toilet paper, from WooCommerce to Shopify and built its new store, with the subscription plans carried over and a heavily customized subscription portal for its customers.

The brief

Gastona sold online on WordPress and WooCommerce, first as a grocery store for modern consumers, then focused on one product: eco-friendly, high-quality toilet paper made from bamboo. Toilet paper is a purchase people repeat every few weeks, so subscriptions sit at the center of the business. The brief for a move like this: a new store with the character of the brand, and subscribers who keep their plans through the switch and can manage them on their own afterward.

What we did

  • Migration from WooCommerce

    The store moved from WordPress and WooCommerce to Shopify at the end of 2023.

  • Subscription plans

    The existing subscription plans moved to Shopify with the rest of the store, so recurring customers did not start over.

  • Customer portal

    The subscription portal set up and heavily customized, so subscribers manage their plans in a space that looks and works like the rest of the store.

  • New store

    The new gastona.it designed and developed on Shopify, from the illustrated home and its mascot to the product pages.

The result

Gastona sells its bamboo toilet paper, one order at a time or on subscription, from a Shopify store its subscribers can manage on their own.
