Case Study: The Green Deal achieves more environmentally friendly fashion returns with commercetools

How microservices are making fashion returns more environmentally friendly

The Green Deal is an Oslo-based startup tackling the environmental and commercial problem of returned fashion goods being scrapped. Faced with returns piling up and a need for a flexible, scalable commerce platform to support multiple partners, front-ends and future marketplace scenarios, The Green Deal chose to build its marketplace on commercetools’ platform.

commercetools delivered a cloud-native, MACH-aligned solution using its microservices (product presentation, ordering, discounts, customer database, channels, pricing, etc.) integrated via GraphQL into four React/Next headless front-ends for partners, customers, warehouse and webshop. The pilot is live in Norway, giving The Green Deal a scalable, extensible foundation to manage many partners and business models, enable resale of returns and reduce the environmental impact of fashion returns.
