The Problem
We had to find a way to connect the Design Home mobile game to a Shopify Plus store so players could purchase the home decor pieces they liked. The client also asked us to create a solution that would allow players from the game to use the in-game currency in order to get rewards on real physical furniture purchases.

The Solution
Since no one had ever connected a mobile game to a Shopify Plus store before, we had to custom build a middleware solution that housed the conditional logic for users to be able to use in-game currency on the Shopify store as well as match each product in the game with a product on the Shopify store. We also set up and managed a server on an ongoing basis for this project.
