Case Study: TAKE A SHOT achieves international growth and streamlined fulfillment with Shopify

TAKE A SHOT - Customer Case Study

TAKE A SHOT, founded in Leipzig in 2012 by two students, designs hybrid sunglasses with synthetic frames and wooden or bamboo temples. They struggled to find reliable, ethical manufacturers through online sourcing platforms and needed to reach international customers despite Shopify’s limited native translation features.

The founders flew to China to personally vet and partner with a trusted manufacturer, built sales through friends, action-sport team riders and trade fairs (including an ISPO BrandNew award), and used the Langify app plus outsourced fulfillment to scale international shipping. The result: repeat customers, strong offline-to-online sales momentum across Europe, and more time to focus on product and growth.
