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.

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.
