Amici is a family company from central Switzerland that has been roasting espresso since 1979. In 2026 we moved their e-commerce from PrestaShop to Shopify and built a new store from scratch. It went live in October 2026.
From PrestaShop to Shopify
We wrote the tools that carried everything over from the old store: products with variants, images and technical details, customers, order history and loyalty points, in German, Italian, French and English. Nothing was sent to customers during the move, and the 876 addresses of the old site redirect to the new pages.
A custom theme in four languages
The theme is built on Shopify's Dawn with Stimulus, Turbo and Tailwind CSS. German is the main language, with Italian, French and English alongside.
Pods and machines that go together
Amici sells two pod systems that are not compatible with each other. The store knows it: each pod shows which machines it works with, and the suggested products never mix the two systems.
Subscriptions
Customers can receive their coffee regularly, choosing format and quantity, and manage the subscription on their own from a dedicated page.
Dealers and origins
A map shows the shops and restaurants that serve Amici coffee, with filters by canton and by system. The pages about the plantations tell the story of each origin with a timeline, next to an encyclopedia of coffee with 71 articles.
Results
A complete replatforming in a few months: new store, data carried over, four languages, live since 28 October 2026. And a collaboration that goes on after the launch.
