Case Study
Moon Magic Crystals
An online crystal shop on a fast headless store, with a checkout the owner runs herself.
Moon Magic Crystals is an online shop selling crystals and related pieces. It needed a fast, reliable store the owner could run day to day without a developer on hand, and a checkout she owns rather than rents.
What they needed
An online shop lives on two things: how quickly it loads for customers, and how easy it is to keep stocked and updated. The owner wanted something quick, straightforward to manage herself, and set up so card payments go straight to her rather than through a platform taking a cut of every sale.
What I built
Moon Magic Crystals runs on HD Commerce: a fast headless storefront with products, variants and a secure Stripe checkout. The owner adds and updates products, prices and stock herself from the HD CMS admin, and card payments land in her own account with no platform fee skimmed off the top.

Moon Magic Crystals, answered
How the shop runs on HD Commerce.
HD Commerce, a headless storefront with a secure Stripe checkout, all managed from the HD CMS admin.
The owner does, from the HD CMS admin. Adding products, changing prices and updating stock do not need a developer.
Through Stripe, straight into the owner's own account. There is no platform taking a percentage of each sale on top of the card fee.
Yes. HD Commerce suits any small shop that wants a fast store it owns and runs itself rather than renting from a big platform.
