The result

How it changed the business

GameBro sells retro gaming handhelds to UK customers. It started as a single page and grew into a shop with a proper checkout, an owner dashboard and a blog that brings in visitors from Google, built and run without a monthly shop subscription in sight.

What this means for your business

A small business can have the same card payments, order handling and sales reports a big shop has, without the monthly platform fee, as long as it is built with care rather than pieced together from add-ons.

What the owner gets

  • Card payments
  • Owner dashboard
  • Blog that brings in visitors
  • Automatic emails
  • No monthly platform fee

The build

What it does for the owner

  1. Card payments through Stripe, with prices held in one place so the shop and the checkout can never disagree
  2. An owner dashboard for orders, posting, refunds and customer enquiries
  3. Automatic emails when an order is posted, reminders to customers who left something in their basket, and a rewards scheme
  4. A blog written around what customers actually search for, with every page labelled so Google understands it
  5. Every product's details kept in one place, so changing a price is one edit and it updates everywhere at once
