Case Study: HitPay streamlines search and boosts relevance with Meilisearch

HitPay streamlines customers’ search capabilities while staying laser-focused on its core offering

HitPay, a one-stop payment fintech platform for small and medium businesses, needed an efficient search solution for its merchants' sizable product catalogs. As search was not part of its core offering, it sought a third-party tool to integrate. The company chose to implement Meilisearch, starting with its open-source solution for a proof of concept.

Meilisearch provided an easy integration for HitPay's Laravel-based backend and an excellent developer experience. After validating the open-source version, HitPay transitioned to Meilisearch Cloud for a secure, reliable, and managed search experience. The implementation resulted in search API response speeds increasing by at least 50% for free-text searches. Meilisearch is now integrated into two of HitPay's core commerce products, providing relevant and powerful search for its merchants.
