Project Overview

Makuake Co., Ltd. initially provides a crowdfunding listing website named “Makuake” for newly-launched products and services. It is a platform where creators can list their original products and call for public fundings from supporters.

Makuake wants to create an E-commerce site based on their original crowdfunding model, so that the creators can sell their new products to the end consumers. The new platform is called “Makuake STORE”.

The question is how to set up a custom Shopify store that is linked to the current crowdfunding site and a management system which Makuake team and creators can co-operate for an ultimately wonderful shopping journey. It’s a huge puzzle to solve right there.

The Challenge

Sketch out the suitable approach to help merchants operate their store on Makuake based on deep understanding of the unique business model.

Streamline the three-parties operations for Makuake online store on Shopify Plus given that Shopify Plus provides limited custom options.

Ensure wonderful customer buying journey.

The Solution

Phase 1: A custom admin app for merchants (aka. sellers) so that they can manage their own store inside Makuake STORE site

Phase 2: Add more features to serve three-party operations so that merchants can set up their own customers’ buying journey. Our solution takes into consideration the full-circle E-commerce management.
