Challenges

The Obstacles Standing in the Way

01

Two Audiences, One Platform

Creators need powerful tools; buyers need a simple storefront. Designing for both without compromising either was the core UX challenge.

02

Removing Technical Friction

Many creators have no design or eCommerce background, so campaign setup had to feel as easy as posting on social media.

03

Performance at Global Scale

With creators and buyers spread across regions and integrated social platforms, the experience had to stay fast and consistent everywhere.
