The challenge
Casa do Colecionador sells rare and classic films online. The online store, hosted on HostGator, had accumulated serious problems: outdated protection, high infrastructure costs, e-mails landing in spam and broken payment modules.
The solution
- Security first: we reviewed the site and the store end to end, updated everything and hardened the store against attacks before any other change.
- Infrastructure migration: we moved the entire site from HostGator to a dedicated, optimized server, fixing long-standing store failures along the way that not even the original support could solve, without stopping sales at any point.
- Corporate e-mail: the store’s domain became recognized by e-mail providers, and its messages stopped landing in spam.
- Payments restored: instant payments and checkout came back after diagnosing incompatibilities on the old server.
The next chapter
The project evolved into building acasadocolecionador.com, the new international platform: a catalog of 10,483 films (209k records) migrated without loss from the legacy system, payments in two currencies (BRL and EUR) with card and PIX, automatic region detection and affiliate monetization in 6 countries. The database runs on CustomerBase, our managed database product.
