Before the custom build, managing physical art sales and event registrations across multiple third-party platforms was creating a disjointed user experience. It was also actively hurting the bottom line, as high commission fees from external ticketing and e-commerce platforms ate directly into the artists’ profits.
The chalenges included:
We engineered a robust, visually immersive e-commerce and ticketing ecosystem. We focused on building an interface that acts as a digital gallery, backed by a hardcore, secure operational engine to handle transactions.
The solution included:
Custom E-Commerce Engine: Developed a sleek, secure digital storefront for purchasing art directly from the platform, optimized for high-resolution imagery and fast load times.
Zero-Commission Exhibition Ticketing: Engineered a fully owned, native ticketing system that allows users to browse upcoming events, reserve spots, and receive digital tickets instantly—keeping 100% of the revenue in-house.
Integrated Payment Infrastructure: Deployed a seamless checkout architecture supporting both local (Lipa na M-Pesa) and global card payments to ensure artists can sell to anyone, anywhere in the world.
This reduced manual touchpoints by over 50% and created a more consistent, scalable workflow across the organization.
