Our take
Shogun offers retailers an eCommerce platform that allows them to easily build fast-running, front-end pages that sit on top of eCommerce back-ends run on the likes of Shopify and BigCommerce. The company’s solutions are used by a selection of big-name brands like Fila, K Swiss, MVMT and Leesa.
At the company’s core is the freedom it gives retailers when selling their goods online. Shopify users are limited in the templates they can use without custom code, and whilst major online retailers like Amazon dominate the eCommerce space, there’s still a desire for brands to present themselves how they want to, and engage with their customers in their own way.
Shogun is coming along at an opportune time, particularly for non-technical small to medium business owners, who already have access to low code/no code services like Shopify to manage the backend, easier payment options like Stripe, and an array of logistics companies to take care of shipping. Shogun is sure to double down on this increasing call for individualism over the foreseeable future by developing more tools to help its users build stronger relationships with their customers.
