Visit SiteThrift+ is transforming the secondhand fashion market by making it effortless to buy and resell pre-loved clothing, driving a sustainable, circular fashion economy.
We partnered with their team to build a powerful headless front-end on top of Shopify Plus and Storyblok, enabling Thrift+ to seamlessly surface over 100,000 products with speed and flexibility.
To tackle the challenge of navigating over 100,000 products, we implemented Algolia’s powerful search engine to deliver lightning-fast, intuitive search capabilities. This allowed users to effortlessly find exactly what they were looking for through autocomplete suggestions, filters, and instant results — even across an extensive product catalog. The integration was carefully tailored to maintain performance and scalability while enhancing the overall user experience.
To extend Thrift+’s reach and accessibility, we wrapped their headless React front-end in a React Native shell, transforming the website into a fully functional mobile app. This approach gave them the benefits of native app performance and user engagement without rebuilding from scratch. The app preserves all website features, ensuring a consistent and smooth experience whether users browse on desktop or mobile.
They were very responsive, friendly, and committed to getting our site live and on budget.
