The problem
Gorge Performance, a long-standing Magento 1 merchant, encountered a significant challenge in the form of an outdated online checkout system. Their existing checkout software lacked modern security measures, leaving sensitive customer data vulnerable. Moreover, the absence of multiple payment options like PayPal, Braintree, and wallet payments posed a substantial limitation. This limitation hindered their ability to cater to a diverse customer base and provide the convenience that modern ecommerce shoppers expect. As a result, Gorge Performance's online store suffered from underperformance, with customers facing difficulties during the checkout process and leaving the business with limited customization options to enhance their online presence. It became evident that a comprehensive solution was urgently needed to revamp their checkout and elevate the overall customer experience.
