A Shopify Case Study
Rustic Trades Furniture (Roswell, GA) handcrafts solid-wood dining tables from a founder’s promise to build a lasting table for his wife, launching the business in 2010 after early success on Craigslist and a blog. As demand grew, the store’s ordering process became a bottleneck: customers struggled with form-based ordering and the back end relied on a patchwork of Google Forms, Wufoo, QuickBooks and FreshBooks that made checkout and fulfillment awkward.
To fix this, Rustic Trades migrated to Shopify and integrated apps that preserve custom-order flexibility while giving customers a familiar cart and checkout experience. The move streamlines ordering, invoicing and fulfillment, improves the customer experience, and is expected to increase conversions and operational efficiency once the new site launches.
