The Challenge
Novu Cycle started as a Shopify MVP but needed transformation into a robust, automated platform to handle multi-vendor requirements. Key goals included seamless role-switching for buyers and sellers, a secure escrow-based payment system with customizable payouts, and compliance with Swiss VAT standards.
The Solution
Our approach focused on scalability, automation, and user-centric design:
- Dual-Purpose User Profiles: We enabled unified user accounts for buyers and sellers, simplifying navigation and profile management.
- Secure Payment Automation: Implemented an escrow payment system with mass payout capabilities for corporate sellers and instant payouts for individuals.
- Advanced Communication Tools: Integrated real-time chat and automated notifications to improve communication between parties.
- Compliance: Ensured adherence to VAT and regional compliance.
The Result
We’re proud to be featured on the official WeWeb showcase!
