Case Study: Kvell achieves rapid, design-led online sales with Snipcart

Locomotive's Superb Snipcart Integration with a Custom CMS

Locomotive, a Montreal web agency, was asked by FHE Group to build Kvell — a new Scandinavian-inspired furniture brand — and get it to market quickly while preserving an upscale, design-led experience. Kvell already had a curated product catalog and bespoke photography, but required a fast, flexible e-commerce layer with minimal backend infrastructure to start selling online.

Locomotive integrated Snipcart into their Charcoal CMS, using Snipcart’s JavaScript API, events, shipping API and webhooks to customize the cart, manage inventory and connect orders to their backend. A working prototype was immediate and production-ready customizations took about a week, delivering a polished, brand-aligned shopping experience, faster time-to-market and a reusable integration for future projects — all supported by clear documentation and responsive vendor support.
