Case Study: Salvation Army modernizes internal storefronts with BlueSwitch Shopify Plus solutions

Salvation Army modernizes internal storefronts for 2B in donations with BlueSwitch

The Salvation Army, a major charity, engaged BlueSwitch to modernize the eCommerce operations for its internal supply houses, USE Trade and TradeWest. Their challenge was to replatform from a legacy digital catalog system to a solution that would allow internal teams to manage their own stores without complex coding. A key requirement was to restrict the purchase of certain internal-only products to authorized employees while still allowing the public to browse the site.

BlueSwitch implemented a Shopify Plus solution that included a custom Single Sign-On (SSO) feature to gate specific products for employees only. The vendor also executed comprehensive product restructuring, in-depth PDP and PLP customizations, and pioneered an early returns functionality. This replatforming empowered the client to digitize and expand their internal supply catalog, modernizing their operations while preserving security and ease of use.
