Case Study: PetCulture achieves seamless Shopify payments and subscriptions with Disco

PetCulture brings $50-billion Woolworths payment infrastructure to Shopify Plus with Disco

The customer PetCulture, a joint venture in pet retail, needed to integrate the payment infrastructure of its parent company Woolworths Group into its headless Shopify Plus platform. They engaged the vendor Disco to develop a unique payment solution that would also support their membership and auto-delivery business model.

Disco designed and implemented a Shopify HPSDK solution for Woolworths' WPay transactions and extended its own Submarine payment platform to handle recurring memberships and subscriptions. This adapter-based approach not only solved PetCulture's immediate needs but also created a reusable framework for future projects. The solution successfully enabled a complex headless architecture involving multiple partners and systems.
