Rotech x Tradewinds.
A custom trading-card storefront that makes a complex catalogue easier to explore while Shopify handles the transaction.
The project
A collector-first storefront on top of Shopify
The challenge
Trading cards carry more detail than a typical retail product: game, set, rarity, condition, language, printing and grade can all change what a buyer is looking for. The storefront needed to make those distinctions useful without replacing the existing inventory and checkout system.
What we built
We built a dedicated Next.js browsing experience against Shopify's Storefront API. Catalogue data is rendered on the server, while filters run quickly in the browser and stay reflected in the URL. Graded cards have their own route and presentation, and the cart passes line items into Shopify's hosted checkout.
Project scope
- 01Multi-attribute catalogue filters with shareable URLs
- 02Dedicated discovery for graded cards, singles and collections
- 03Cart handoff to Shopify checkout while Shopify remains the system of record

What can we build together?
A short call, an honest read on whether we are the right team, and a written plan if we are. No pitch deck.
