Rebel Athletic has been revolutionizing the cheering uniform industry since 2012 by creating luxurious designs and affordable clothing for athletes of all skills. Their Magento platform was no longer able to meet the brand’s demands for scalability, integration, and user experience as it expanded internationally. Rebel Athletic joined together with Digilite to move to Shopify Plus in order to simplify further expansion and give their customers a better online shopping experience.
The Challenge
With its extensive client information and advanced features, Rebel Athletic’s current Magento store had grown challenging to handle. The task was hard because there were 55,000 clients and around 450,000 orders to move. The business needed to effortlessly transition to Shopify Plus without compromising customer satisfaction or ongoing sales. They wanted to upgrade their e-commerce capabilities by switching to a more user-friendly, flexible platform that would allow for future expansion while improving website performance, so it wasn’t just a simple migration.
Transferring such a large amount of data without losing or damaging any information was the biggest challenge. The migration had to be finished without any downtime or disruptions that might have a negative impact on sales or customer satisfaction because of the high volume of daily transactions and traffic. Rebel Athletic needed a solution that would help them go to the next level of digital growth while protecting their excellent service and support reputation.
Our Approach
Digilite created a plan to move Rebel Athletic’s store to Shopify Plus, a platform renowned for its performance and scalability, in order to assist them in achieving their objectives.
→ Data Migration: To ensure the secure transfer of all 450,000 orders, 55,000 customers, and associated data, Rebel Athletic’s sizable database was initially moved from Magento to Shopify Plus. To avoid any problems or data loss, our staff thoroughly examined the procedure.

We were able to design a responsive, aesthetically pleasing online store with Shopify Plus that was simple to use on desktops and mobile devices.

Thanks to Digilite’s expertise in web development and smooth data migration, they now have a high-performance online store that can scale with their growing business. The new Shopify Plus platform provides the speed, flexibility, and user-friendly experience that will help Rebel Athletic thrive in the competitive cheerleading apparel market.
