The challenge
Cherry Vibes had a store people loved. In Costa Rica. Moving an online store to the U.S. market is more than changing the currency: payments, shipping, taxes, catalog, and storefront all have to be rebuilt for how American customers shop. And a brand this distinctive deserved better than a stock theme.
What we built
A complete migration and rebuild:
- Shopify, set up for the U.S. market: payments, shipping, and taxes configured for selling to American customers.
- A custom Shopify Hydrogen storefront, designed for the brand and built on Shopify’s Hydrogen framework, so the store is fast and looks like nobody else’s.
- The full catalog: every cherry-themed product set up with images, variants, and pricing.
- Email automations: welcome, abandoned cart, and receipts, so the store keeps selling between visits.
- Custom apps: the store-specific tools the business needed beyond what Shopify offers out of the box.
How it works
A shopper lands on a storefront that carries the brand: fast, custom-built on Hydrogen, and organized the way people browse. Checkout, payments, and shipping run on Shopify’s rails, configured for the U.S.; the email automations bring shoppers back; and the custom apps handle what’s unique to this store.
The outcome
Cherry Vibes is now a U.S. store, relaunched in May 2026: same beloved brand, new market, and a storefront built to sell in it. The migration covered everything: platform, catalog, payments, automations, and a custom Hydrogen storefront that does the brand justice.
