St. Patrick's Guild needed off an aging Magento 1 site that was causing PCI compliance problems. PeakBeyond™ led its move to BigCommerce with orders still flowing into Counterpoint and ShipWorks, added house-account ordering for B2B customers, and has coached its web team ever since.

I am sending a special note of thanks for all the shepherding you did on the mega menu installation and design work. We LOVE it! It was worth all the trouble.

The work

June – August 2020
Magento 1 to BigCommerce
The challenge
The Magento 1 site had been compromised, causing PCI compliance problems. The new platform had to keep orders flowing into Counterpoint and shipping through ShipWorks.
What we did
PeakBeyond™ led the move to BigCommerce with its development partner: data migration and variant checks, order sync to Counterpoint, payments and fraud settings, the ShipWorks payment-capture workflow, testing and the DNS switch — then tuned search, image speed and gift card redemption after launch.
The result
The new store went live on July 20, 2020, and the client reported its best holiday season ever on BigCommerce that December.
2021
B2B house accounts
The challenge
House-account customers couldn't use their tax-exempt status or charge web orders to their account, and the team wanted a faster front end and a brand refresh.
What we did
PeakBeyond™ ran phase 2 discovery, set up a house-account payment method that maps to the receivables pay code in Counterpoint, evaluated a headless front end and supported the agency's brand refresh.
The result
House-account web orders have imported into Counterpoint on account since May 2021.
2021 – present
Ongoing guidance and coaching
The challenge
The web team needed continuing help with BigCommerce features, integrations and compliance scans — and support through staff changes.
What we did
PeakBeyond™ guided the mega menu design and installation, set up API access for new integrations, helped resolve PCI scan failures and quantity discounts, and coached the web department as roles changed. In 2025 we showed the team how to use dynamic search widgets in its page builder, simplified the filters, and planned color-contrast and accessibility fixes with the development partner.
The result
The new mega menu launched in August 2026.
