Case Study: Spikeball achieves 2,700% growth and same-day delivery capability with Shopify Plus

How the Next Great American Sport Is Growing 2,700% with Generous Surprises & On-Demand Delivery

Spikeball, maker of Roundnet equipment and a SaaS tournament platform, turned a backyard invention into a fast-growing business but faced serious operational risks as it scaled. After founders went full time they were hit by a port strike that wiped out inventory and by cyberattacks that took parts of their site offline—threatening an aggressive goal to double sales each year.

To stabilize growth they split shipments across two ports, migrated fully to Shopify Plus for scalable, resilient ecommerce, and added same-day delivery via UberRUSH; they also build loyalty with free-for-life replacement parts. The results: more than 2,700% growth since 2008, record annual revenues ($1.3M → $3.2M → $6.9M), over a million players, placement in thousands of schools and colleges, and reliable, differentiated customer experiences that preserved sales and accelerated expansion.
