Case study

The challenge.

Selling artisanal handloom products to international buyers requires solving two major friction points: presenting traditional craft with high-end luxury editorial credibility, and eliminating cross-border delivery cost surprises at checkout.

International customers often abandon carts when shipping costs are unclear or wildly inflated. Selyn's products range from lightweight handwoven scarves to heavy home textiles and structured soft toys, making flat-rate shipping completely unviable.

We architected a streamlined storefront paired with automated country- and weight-based delivery zones. By structuring carrier matrices into easily maintainable rate tables, we gave Selyn the confidence to market globally without risking shipping losses or overcharging overseas patrons.

The export storefront unifies cross-border e-commerce, artisan storytelling, and automated logistics into four core pillars.
