About The Brand
ProSoccer has been the go-to destination for soccer enthusiasts across the United States for over 30 years. What started as a family-owned and operated business has become a trusted retailer of high-quality soccer equipment, apparel, and accessories. With partnerships with brands like Adidas, Puma, and Nike, ProSoccer caters to both individual customers and soccer teams. What makes ProSoccer stand out is its commitment to providing fully licensed, authentic soccer specialty products and to serve the customer as if they’re family. So when you shop at ProSoccer, you know you’re buying from a trusted retailer with world-class quality.
The Challenge
The store had a complex setup, using LightSpeed POS integrated with Accumula to sync inventory updates between the physical store and the website. This created inefficiencies and made the system cumbersome to manage, especially with high-volume orders.
The previous website, hosted on Magento, was plagued by frequent server crashes, occurring almost every month. These outages, sometimes lasting for hours or even half a day, led to significant downtime, lost sales, and frustrated customers.
The checkout process was riddled with issues, from slow load times to error messages appearing mid-purchase. This resulted in a high cart abandonment rate, leaving customers frustrated and unable to complete their orders.
Their rewards program was split between retail and online customers, creating confusion for customers who couldn’t redeem rewards across both platforms seamlessly.
Limited warehouse space created additional operational challenges, making it hard for the business to store and manage its growing inventory. This led to delays in fulfilling online orders, highlighting the need for a larger facility to streamline logistic and business operations.
The Solution
Seamless Migration to Shopify Plus
We developed a custom migration plan to transition Pro Soccer from Magento to Shopify Plus, effectively resolving the frequent server crashes and downtime they experienced. The transition ensured a stable, reliable platform, significantly improving site uptime and boosting performance.
Optimized Checkout Process
The previously buggy checkout process was completely revamped to create a seamless user experience. We simplified the multi-step checkout process, eliminated errors, and optimized the process for both desktop and mobile users, significantly reducing cart abandonment rates.
Unified Rewards Program
We addressed the split rewards program issue by implementing a unified rewards system on Shopify Plus. This allowed customers to seamlessly redeem rewards across both platforms, improving their satisfaction and loyalty.
Warehouse Operational Solutions
Understanding the limitations of their warehouse space, we worked with their team to optimize inventory management. We helped them integrate an advanced warehouse management software that scaled with their growing inventory and supported their transition to a larger facility, ensuring smooth operations and faster order fulfillment.
Enhanced User Experience
Our team focused on modernizing the site design and optimizing the navigation, product pages, and search functionalities to align with the latest UX/UI best practices. The simplified layout is more intuitive, making product discovery simpler for customers.
On-Page SEO & Performance Enhancements
We worked extensively on on-page SEO to improve search rankings and drive organic traffic. This included optimizing product pages, category structures, and site speed to increase visibility on search engines.

The Shopify Plus migration led to remarkable growth for ProSoccer store.
