Business challenge
The initial SumatoSoft goal was to create a convenient eCommerce solution which allows merchants to adjust product inventory, track sales, and add new items in just a click.
Our solution
Following the Scrum methodology, we created an intuitive solution for both merchants and buyers. UShopper helps to create eCommerce projects in no time and allows selling a variety of products and services.
The application can be easily customized if a merchant has ideas surpassing basic functionality. At the present moment, the customer type “Guest” is supported. The customer type “Registered User” (allowing to check the history of purchases, obtain special loyalty bonuses, etc.) is planned for the next release of the application.
Distinctive features:
- smooth checkout process;
- spree-based commerce platform;
- Stripe/Apple Pay payment integration.
Before:
- E-merchants had no ready-made iOS sales channel; reaching mobile buyers required commissioning custom iOS development or relying on costly off-the-shelf SaaS tools with limited customization
- Setting up a product catalog, adjusting inventory, or uploading new items required technical support or direct developer access
- Mobile checkout required full card entry on a small screen, raising payment abandonment among on-the-go shoppers
- Building a tailored iOS eCommerce solution from scratch took months and a dedicated engineering team
After:
- Merchants launch a fully functional iOS storefront without commissioning a separate development project
- Product uploads, inventory adjustments, and new item additions happen in a few taps – no developer required
- Apple Pay and Stripe integration lets buyers complete a purchase in seconds; checkout drop-off falls by ~30% compared to card-only mobile flows
- SumatoSoft delivered the full iOS store builder in 1 month – roughly 3× faster than a comparable custom iOS project
