The challenge

What we walked into.

The founders needed a comprehensive e-commerce platform that went beyond standard shopping carts, allowing users to design their own apparel.

Integrating AI image generation directly onto a live web canvas without latency issues.

Managing complex subscription logic, including rollover credits and tiered access.

The approach

Four moves. Shipped in order.

01

Interactive Canvas

Built a highly responsive design canvas using web technologies for accurate print previews.

02

AI Integration

Integrated Gemini AI to allow users to generate custom artwork directly within the design flow.

03

Subscription Engine

Custom Stripe billing integration to handle monthly credits, rollovers, and one-off extra credit purchases.

04

Admin Dashboard

Developed a full admin portal for dynamic pricing configuration across different product types.
