Client & Business Challenges

A UK-based arts and heritage marketplace sought a more efficient way to sell paintings, prints, and other cultural products worldwide. Its existing eCommerce solution lacked the flexibility for direct vendor sales, complicating inventory tracking and order fulfillment across multiple museums. The client needed a robust revenue model that deducted commissions, a fast, user-friendly checkout experience, and centralized workflows for vendor onboarding. Ensuring a smooth migration from the legacy platform to a modern, scalable solution was paramount—any disruption threatened both sales and vendor relationships.

The Solution

Successive Digital leveraged Shopify to develop a tailored multivendor solution. First, the existing eCommerce store was migrated without data loss, upgrading site performance and user experience. Next, we integrated custom functionalities supporting multiple vendors, enabling each museum to list and fulfill their products independently. A commission deduction mechanism automated revenue sharing, reducing manual overhead and clarifying vendor payouts. Further theme customizations ensured shoppers could easily discover new art pieces, while a centralized panel allowed the client to oversee product listings, inventory, and order status in real time. This cohesive approach delivered a scalable online marketplace for connecting art lovers and museums globally.

  • Platform Migration

We executed a seamless migration to Shopify, ensuring data integrity and enhanced performance. Our team managed complex data mapping and customized the theme to deliver a responsive, scalable foundation. This migration empowered the client to manage vendor information, inventory, and transactions from a unified, cloud-based environment.

  • Centralized Dashboard

We developed an intuitive dashboard that centralized vendor, inventory, and order management functions. This interface enabled real-time monitoring, automated commission calculations, and streamlined workflows, reducing manual interventions while providing actionable insights and greater control over multi-vendor operations.

  • Advanced Integrations

We integrated key third-party plugins and payment gateways to optimize logistics, automate billing, and facilitate seamless vendor communications. This solution enhanced order processing and shipping management, ensuring accurate, automated transactions while elevating the overall user experience and contributing to significant revenue growth.
