Project Summary

SpurIT built a custom Shopify app that splits shopping cart values to support a borrow-and-return e-commerce business model and implemented associated front-end UX and backend hosting. The vendor provided project management, detailed estimations, testing and user-acceptance support. The client praises SpurIT's technical aptitude, responsiveness and consistent on-time, on-budget delivery across multiple subsequent projects.

Key Challenges

  • Build a solution on Shopify despite platform limitations for the borrow-and-return business model.
  • Ensure a seamless front-end UX and automate the end-to-end customer journey.
  • Minimize financial risk and automate payment splitting with deferred second payment.
  • Avoid reliance on third-party buy-now-pay-later providers and associated fees.

Project Deliverables

  • Custom Shopify app
  • AWS-hosted backend (virtual machines)
  • Front-end UX/UI implementation
  • Project management and estimations
  • Testing and user-acceptance support

Project Solution

SpurIT scoped the work into milestone-based RFQs, ran a pilot assessment and was then appointed. They developed a custom Shopify app using platform knowledge (Liquid and JavaScript/JSON, Shopify theme/schema work) and integrated it within Shopify payment flows. The backend operated on AWS virtual machines; SpurIT provided estimates, managed the project, delivered the development work and supported testing and user acceptance.

Project Outcome

  • SpurIT built client confidence and acted as a trusted adviser.
  • Multiple successful projects completed valued at over $10,000.
  • Deliveries consistently on schedule and on budget with integrated project management.
