Nike Australia: Shopify Plus Store Launch

Nike Australia

With every store shuttered overnight by COVID restrictions, Nike Australia (RPG) faced the risk of grinding to a halt. In record time, we built a custom Shopify store for their Nike members, keeping sales flowing while doors stayed closed.

With every store shuttered overnight by COVID restrictions, Nike Australia (RPG) faced the risk of grinding to a halt. In record time, we built a custom Shopify store for their Nike members, keeping sales flowing while doors stayed closed.

To keep their business moving during lockdowns, we spun up a Shopify Plus site tailored to RPG’s needs. Beyond simply selling online, it offered customers direct access to staff through virtual and in-store appointments and ensured revenue was tied back to local stores, supporting both employees and customers in a challenging time.
