The task

Build a handmade wooden toy store with its own design and keep the catalogue current automatically — products, prices and stock arrive from a supplier over API.

What made it hard

A dropshipper’s catalogue changes constantly, and syncing naively — one API call per product — hits Shopify’s rate limits and drags on for hours. The update must neither block the storefront nor lose changes when a call fails.

The solution

The design was built from scratch for the brand, with no purchased theme: storefront, product pages, cart and checkout.

Synchronisation lives in a separate layer on Cloudflare Workers. On a cron schedule it pulls the supplier feed, puts the changes into a queue and applies them to Shopify in batches — so the update stays inside the API limits and does not depend on shopper traffic.

The queue is what makes it reliable: a failed operation is retried rather than lost, and one bad product does not stop the whole sync.
