Case Study: Bombinate achieves a flexible, brand-managed luxury marketplace with Moltin

Bombinate Countless Craftsmen, One Marketplace

Bombinate is a Europe-based curated marketplace launched in 2013 that brings together 30+ high-quality artisan brands from across seven countries, and their challenge was enabling each brand to sell through its own supplier dashboard while maintaining inventory and order control. To achieve a seamless, flexible commerce architecture they chose Moltin as their backend commerce solution, integrating it with Postgres, AWS and Algolia.

Moltin delivered a flexible commerce API that let Bombinate add custom fields, support made-to-order products, use webhooks to push real-time updates to Algolia and other services, and integrate a bespoke payment flow — all without locking them into a specific tech stack. The build took about four months, produced a platform suitable for non-technical founders and rapid mid-build feature changes, and helped generate strong early interest with 800 pre-launch sign-ups.
