Don’t you believe us?
Here are 5 Shopify PWA stores that received terrific results after switching to progressive web apps.
Store #1: Miko
Founded to combine artificial intelligence, IoT, and Robotics for daily consumer affairs, Miko is an advanced robotics innovation lab.
The company has launched flagship robot models — Miko, Miko 2, and Miko 3 — to deliver meaningful and interactive education through interactive learning to kids of different age groups.
The problem
Interestingly, the native Shopify front-end solution could not provide scalability technical support. Besides, website performance and increasing bounce rates were also a concern.
The solution
However, since Shopify came across as the only means to handle unprecedented variations in traffic, Miko did not want to let go of it. So Miko decided to go ahead with headless PWA for Shopify. It helped the company find a middle path.
The result
- Miko could add a flexible storefront for their business, garnering the speed and UX-based advantages of PWA execution.
- All this became possible even while Miko closely tied its core digital framework and tools with Shopify.
- Headless PWA instantly translated into better and faster customer acquisition.
- Easy automation of subscription management, taxation analytics, and charge compliance.
- Better front-end management and improved SEO rankings.
Store #2: Koala
Koala is one of Australia’s top online furniture brands, making environment-friendly pieces without compromising customer comfort and convenience.
Lifestyle-based furniture development — as Koala calls it — is more focused on building sustainable furniture models according to how one leads their life. This approach helps them in being a customer-friendly, easygoing brand.
With out-of-the-box ideas like a 120-night free trial for furniture sets, there was nothing that could stop Koala from becoming the number one metropolitan online furniture brand.
The problem
Koala’s online operations hit a definite roadblock when its backend platform could not support the scalability the business desired.
The solution
A PWA solved the issue entirely as it allowed Koala to avail of customized services that simultaneously encouraged the expansion of both the front and back end.
The result
- The actual effect was visible when the brand could deliver customer assistance seamlessly on multiple channels.
- A headless PWA also allowed Koala to make dynamic changes to their website and product listings without facing any downtime.
- Koala now has a customer-facing website where it enjoys the flexibility of reaching out to its customers with engaging content without worrying about time lags or glitches.
- It could speed up the site’s response time by streamlining its back-end functioning through a headless approach.
- The PWA also helps them develop several microservices, like shopping carts, that solve their specific customer outreach problems.
- The output has been tremendously encouraging, with a 13 million dollar revenue generation.
Store #3: Nomad
Few lifestyle product companies in consumer electronics are as successful as Nomad in the online domain.
Since the company was started in 2012, it has developed several handy products that solve very small yet impactful everyday problems for its end users.
One of their first products, the ChargeCard, is a great example. It was a portable charger that one could carry along in their wallet.
Such exciting ideas and a focused problem-solving approach made Nomad quite famous in a short span, eventually leading to heavy website traffic and conversions.
The problem
Not willing to give away the advantages of a typically established e-commerce platform, Nomad was still facing issues with website loading speed. Growing traffic that was probably not patient enough to wait for pages to load beyond a second had to be accommodated somehow.
The solution
A headless PWA then came into the picture. With a PWA solution to manage the front end, the loading speed was increased significantly, boosting their website speed almost instantly.
The result
- The company saw a 15.6 percent reduction in users who came to their website and left without taking any action or making a purchase.
- Similarly, it could enhance the customer experience to the extent that a 25% increment in conversions was noticed within no time.
- Nomad also bagged a 7% increase in items added to the cart after Product View.
Store #4: WellPath
WellPath sells health and wellness supplements online with 100% natural ingredients.
It uses food substances and ingredients with research-backed evidence to promote good health and helps prepare light formulations for the body.
The company is known for its exciting supplement products that are nutritious and healthy and have a savory taste.
The problem
Since there are tons of doubts associated with supplements, WellPath’s customers required an easily navigable website that could present the products with accurate descriptions.
The solution
With a headless PWA approach, the brand could simplify and optimize its website to present specific content to its customers to help them make a decision quickly.
The result
- An uncomplicated website UX — as soon as visitors land on the website and scroll down, they see four products based on their “wellness paths” with a “Shop Now” button for instant purchase.
- The landing page had a consultation form to request a one-on-one consultation before finalizing a product.
- The website also had a single-click checkout option to expedite order placement without confusing the customer too much.
- This gave a boost to the overall customer experience, which in itself drives conversions on its own.
Store #5: OneBlade
OneBlade is a luxury brand that brings international shaving technology to your homes. It deals in recreating an authentic Italian luxury shaving experience with resilient hand-crafted razors and associated accessories.
The styling and design of the OneBlade razor are unique and exemplary, while the precision with which it helps you shave your beard is remarkable.
The problem
The company faced creative limitations while running a successful eCommerce business on Shopify.
Further, not being able to provide a fast website loading experience to users was stopping them from going all guns blazing when it came to conversions and revenue collection.
The solution
With a headless Shopify PWA, OneBlade could manage front-end requirements and cater to customers on multiple channels. As a result, the speed and customer experience (CX) improved, while the Shopify backend channel remained as it was.
The result
- The combination of speed and CX eventually led to an incredible 579% growth in recurring subscriptions.
- The biggest proof of a significantly improved CX due to speed optimization was the 30.1% increase in the mean order values.
- The PWA performed remarkably well in improving the website speed, with an 83 percent decline in the time required for page loading.
Over to you!
Shifting a settled eCommerce business away from Shopify is not a sensible idea in most cases. But using headless PWA to your advantage can help you manage the increasing traffic while still providing the best customer experience possible.
