In the past, the company focused on creating Shopify apps to help merchants increase their average order value through upselling after checkout. However, due to business strategy considerations and user needs, we decided to start from scratch and build a new e-commerce platform to address the issues that users face with Shopify that cannot be met, helping merchants sell more efficiently.

E-commerce store platforms are large and complex products, including customer front-end and merchant back-end, but due to considerations such as scheduling, existing user migration, and technical aspects, we need to enable current users to quickly and painlessly transition to continue product sales.

During the process of this project, we encountered various issues of all sizes that caused our business strategy to continuously evolve. In the past, I might have viewed this as a negative experience, but now I believe that insisting on our original ideas without being flexible in response to the market is the worst choice. Although we have not yet witnessed the moment the product is born, I think the most important thing is that the company can continue to operate!

The project process is not only about changes in business strategies, but also experiences changes in team organization, position transitions, and the impact of the pandemic. My role and position have been constantly evolving, but I enjoy this process as I have learned a lot of knowledge from different perspectives, including design team management, project management, and optimizing communication within multinational teams. I can quickly adapt and maintain flexibility to meet the needs of various periods, becoming the best team partner.
