VTEX’s unique native marketplace capability, combined with its robust front-end features, including the Store Framework and optimized checkout flow, allowed the customer to integrate multiple payment methods and gift card options optimally.

Seeking to ensure the best customer experience, and with 134 sellers and over 18,000 products, Chooze allows easy product comparisons and purchases from multiple sellers and creates customized NDIS-friendly invoicing for multi-shop purchases using VTEX IO IPaaS, simplifying claims and reducing delays. Alongside VTEX, Chooze is setting a new standard in disability and aged care shopping.

Leveraging VTEX Ads Network, Pague Menos now efficiently manages its advertising space, aligning promotions with consumer behavior to drive sales without the burden of managing numerous separate advertiser relationships. This integration expanded their reach, opened new sales channels, and delivered immediate sales and revenue increases while enhancing advertisers' performance metrics and ROAS. With VTEX Ads Network's scalable and performance-driven approach, Pague Menos is poised to drive further growth.
• Single control panel for every order:
  • Librerías Gandhi, a leading Mexican bookstore chain with 49 physical stores and a central distribution center, partnered with VTEX to enhance their omnichannel capabilities. They integrated their 4.5 million SKUs across all sales channels, enabling sales and inventory management from each store, enabling in-store pickup. Using VTEX, they can now offer same-day delivery in Mexico City and extend their reach through marketplace integrations with Walmart Mexico and Mercado Libre.

With enhanced customer identification, sales reps can more effectively target in-store visitors, driving higher conversion rates and cross-selling opportunities.
• Commerce on auto-pilot and co-pilot:
  • Cosmo Music, a leader in musical instrument rentals in Canada, leveraged VTEX's platform to ensure a seamless and uninterrupted customer journey.

  • Doto, a marketplace for electronic devices, expanded its reach using the VTEX platform in Mexico, enhancing usability and user experience. Leveraging VTEX's A/B Testing and workspaces, Doto was able to test several go-to-market strategies, such as its Double Buy Box, with "Save Time" and "Save Money" delivery options, which increased user interaction and loyalty, boosting conversions by 19%. Additionally, VTEX IO allowed Doto to manage its infrastructure natively, leading to a 27% increase in site visibility and a 26% rise in returning user visits. With VTEX Sales App and VTEX Intelligent Search, Doto's omnichannel strategy balances logistical efficiency and customer satisfaction, solidifying its ecommerce leadership.
  • H Mart, the largest Asian supermarket chain in the US, migrated to VTEX, launching two new online stores in March, unifying its perishable and nonperishable items with its fresh goods systems.
