Case Study: SunGod achieves faster checkout and higher conversion with Commerce Layer

SunGod realizes immediate performance improvements from composable commerce

SunGod, a British performance eyewear brand, faced significant challenges with its monolithic ecommerce platform, including slow page load times that hurt customer experience and a difficult, resource-intensive development process that hindered adding new features. The platform could not efficiently handle their highly customizable product offerings, forcing the business to adapt to technological limitations rather than the other way around.

To solve this, SunGod implemented a composable commerce solution with Commerce Layer. This provided the flexibility to model their complex product bundles digitally and a robust API to build upon. The results were substantial performance gains, with add-to-cart times dropping to under 200ms and checkout completion rates increasing by 14%. Commerce Layer also dramatically improved the developer experience, enabling new features to be rolled out in weeks instead of months.
