> A custom platform built to manage compatibility between every component in a PC build

## The challenge

Gamer Factory needed its own store for gaming hardware — one where shoppers could build a PC part by part without having to figure out on their own which components work together.

## Our solution

We built a fully custom platform with:

- A part-by-part PC builder that checks compatibility for every single component
- Cart, checkout and integrations with payment providers (MercadoPago, Modo, GoCuotas, Binance), shipping and marketing tools
- Automated, personalized notifications for order tracking and deals
- A gaming hardware catalog the team manages in-house, including the compatibility rules that power the PC builder
- Iterative, incremental development that keeps shipping new features

## The result

- A technically complex purchase, now far simpler to understand
- A store that keeps evolving, with new features rolling out
- Fully custom development that stays true to the brand guidelines
- Multiple payment gateways, giving shoppers more ways to pay

## Key figures

- 4+ — payment gateways and methods, integrated and live
- 7+ years — working together on the platform
- 100% — custom-built around the brand guidelines and the platform's own requirements
- 4K+ — completed sales on the platform

## Compatibility rules that grow with the catalog

New gaming hardware comes out all the time. So the compatibility rules aren't hard-coded: Gamer Factory's team sets them up from the catalog, and the builder stays current with every product they add.
