After years on Storefront, I’m finally migrating Business Bloomer to Shoptimizer — and I just recorded a full 1-hour walkthrough showing every step. Staging, child theme, custom functions, CSS tweaks, conversion-focused finishing touches… almost everything. If you’ve ever wondered how to safely switch your WooCommerce theme, this one’s for you. Watch the full video here 👉 youtu.be/3YbjVLzpa4I This isn’t just a theme swap — I show exactly how to migrate safely without breaking your site, while keeping your old design and functionality intact. Whether you’re a developer, freelancer, or store owner, you’ll see all the lessons I learned along the way, from staging to final conversions. Plus, I share why Shoptimizer is a serious upgrade for WooCommerce, especially if you care about speed, mobile, and checkout conversions 🔥

While editing Ep. 5 of my Shoptimizer series, I suddenly remembered… I have a waitlist! So I went ahead, published the first Checkout Summit ticket products, marked them out of stock, and enabled the waitlist feature with Shoptimizer + CommerceKit.
