Case Study: Native Union
By partnering with Reach, Native Union had a successful shift to Shopify Plus and can now offer multiple fixed pricing books through a single storefront.
About Native Union
Disenchanted by the nondescript plastics that fill the tech accessories space, Igor Duc and John Brunner set out to offer refined alternatives that enhance the way we live with our tech. Born out of this shared love of good design and quality products, Native Union combines the finest handpicked materials, thoughtful design, and considered details to create products with personality that empower the modern lifestyle.
Native Union is a multi-national brand with an international team in Hong Kong, Paris, and Los Angeles, crafting everyday solutions for an audience just as global.
The Situation
Found in Apple stores and electronics stores across the globe, Native Union is obliged to match online and brick-and-mortar prices in all regions. On BigCommerce, that meant managing 6 storefronts. While replatforming, Shopify seemed like a great solution, but Native Union ran into a number of problems price matching by region.
- The limitations of the Shopify platform meant that Native Union would still have to manage a separate storefront domain for every international currency, increasing operational complexity.
- Separate domains mean separate management of price books, inventory, marketing campaigns, SEO, administration, and support for each international storefront.
- Native Union’s focus on thoughtful design extends to the customer experience. Redirects and poor UI are out of the question, so other providers wouldn’t do.
Then, Native Union found Reach.
“By partnering with Reach, we were able to offer all of our global price books to our shoppers around the world, all through one Shopify Plus site. Their flexible technology and knowledgeable team allowed us to easily scale our international sales, while minimizing the operational costs of maintaining multiple storefronts.”
— Arthur Maitre, Head of E-Commerce at Native Union
The Solution
Because Reach is unique in the industry in its ability to offer Shopify merchants a single native checkout for all international transactions, Shopify introduced Native Union to Reach.
