The situation
A craft marketplace wanted to connect independent makers with buyers, but had no platform. It needed a fast, multi-vendor storefront that could scale to thousands of products while keeping the shopping experience smooth for buyers and simple for sellers.
What we did
We built a multi-vendor marketplace on Next.js with Stripe payments, Algolia search, and AI-driven product recommendations. Media is served from AWS S3, and the front end is tuned for speed with Tailwind CSS and careful performance work.
The outcome
The platform converts at 4.5% — more than double the market average — with 2,000+ products from 150 sellers and an average page load of 0.8 seconds. AI recommendations added roughly 30% in cross-sell.
