The Challenge: Binding Bazaar was migrating from a legacy platform to Shopify. The project stalled because a previous freelancer could not handle the complex data logic, resulting in "phantom options" and unstructured listings. The client had raw spreadsheet data for ~60 complex SKUs (Laminating Pouches) that needed to be transformed into a conversion-friendly catalog with strict VAT pricing compliance.

The Solution: I took ownership of the migration, shifting from manual entry to an AI-assisted architectural approach using specialized tools.

Advanced Data Migration (Matrixify) I utilized Matrixify to manipulate and restructure the raw product data in bulk. Instead of manual entry, I mapped complex variant logic (Size + Finish) directly in the import sheets, ensuring 100% data integrity during the upload process and eliminating the "phantom options" left by the previous vendor.

"Vibe Coding" for Custom Logic The native theme lacked specific functionality for the client's B2B needs. I leveraged Shopify AI (Vibe Coding) to generate and implement custom Liquid scripts including:

Quality Assurance Protocol I implemented a strict review protocol to flag missing variant data and image gaps before the Matrixify upload, delivering a "ready-to-live" catalog that required zero client hand-holding.

Complex Functionality: Delivered custom VAT logic and product add-ons using AI-generated code, saving the client monthly app fees.

100% Data Integrity: Used Matrixify to ensure zero errors across 60+ complex SKUs.

Launch Ready: Transformed a raw spreadsheet into a fully navigable, conversion-optimized storefront in a fraction of the standard time.
