SwiftCart Elite E-Shop
Ultra-fast headless catalog and checkout storefront with elastic search, custom inventory synchronization, and Stripe integration.
The Challenge
The client's legacy WooCommerce store had ballooned to 4,000+ SKUs, causing page load speeds to drop to 6.2 seconds. Mobile cart abandonment rates reached 84% due to a sluggish, multi-step checkout funnel and database locks during peak sales events.
The Solution
We rebuilt the entire shopping experience from scratch as a headless Next.js application. We separated the catalog view from the transaction database, pre-rendering all product pages statically. We integrated Elasticsearch for instantaneous product filtering, implemented a custom inventory sync database API, and built a streamlined single-page checkout flow with Stripe Elements.
