Project Overview

SoccerTutor, founded in 2001, is one of the world’s leading providers of football coaching materials, including books, eBooks, software, and equipment. The company serves customers in more than 150 countries and needed a robust eCommerce solution to match its global reach.
The legacy Volusion platform could no longer handle growing demands for performance, scalability, and customization. SoccerTutor chose Magento 2 for its flexibility and entrusted GoMage with developing the new store, handling the migration, and ensuring long-term support.
