Case Study: Mercredi Biscuiterie enables rapid e-commerce with Snipcart

Mercredi Biscuiterie launches online sales in 1 month with Snipcart

Mercredi Biscuiterie, a bakery based in Lyon, France, faced a sudden closure of its physical shop due to the Covid-19 pandemic and needed a simple e-commerce website very quickly. They also required custom shipping methods for products that could not be shipped by commercial providers. The bakery turned to developer Patrick Faramaz, who implemented a solution for them using Snipcart's e-commerce platform.

The solution involved using Snipcart integrated with a Gatsby static site and Netlify Functions. This stack enabled a fast and efficient e-commerce setup that handled inventory checks through API calls and created custom, logic-based shipping rules. The use of Snipcart allowed the bakery to begin selling online rapidly, providing them with a crucial revenue stream during the lockdown. The vendor, Snipcart, was praised for its comprehensive documentation and responsive support.
