XLOXI PVT LTD is a registered Shopify Partner based in Vavuniya. This case study summarises a typical Sri Lanka Shopify launch: LKR-ready catalogue, PayHere (or local gateway) checkout, island shipping, and a staging theme merchants can verify before go-live — the same process we use for Colombo, Jaffna, Vavuniya and export brands.
The brief
A Sri Lankan DTC retailer needed a Shopify store that looked trustworthy on mobile, sold in LKR for local buyers, and could take payments customers already use — including PayHere where the merchant’s bank and business registration allowed it. Shipping had to cover Colombo metro and island-wide delivery without surprises at checkout. The brand also wanted international checkout ready for customers abroad.
What XLOXI delivered
- Discovery and written scope — catalogue size, apps, payments, shipping and timeline documented before build started.
- Staging theme build — Online Store 2.0 sections and Liquid customisation on a staging theme so the live store was never the experiment.
- PayHere / local + export checkout — local gateway testing where supported, plus international payment options for export orders.
- Shipping and tax hygiene — zones and rates that matched how the brand actually fulfils domestic orders.
- Speed and mobile QA — image weight, app audit and theme cleanup before ads or Meta traffic started.
- Company handoff — XLOXI PVT LTD invoice, Partner continuity and notes the merchant can keep editing in the theme editor.
Results the client cared about
- Checkout completed in LKR with a local gateway path tested on mobile before launch.
- Staging approval reduced “fix it live” risk for a brand that could not afford downtime.
- Support noise about payments and shipping dropped in the first weeks after go-live.
