About Saddlefit
Saddlefit is an online saddle fitting and multi-tenant eCommerce platform that helps horse owners find saddles based on accurate horse measurements and fit scores. The platform allows sellers and manufacturers to manage saddles, inventory, orders, payments, shipping, and customer interactions from one centralized system.
The platform also supports Shopify integration, giving sellers the flexibility to sync products and orders from their existing Shopify stores or use Saddlefit independently.

Key Challenges
Building Saddlefit required solving both product and technical challenges, from saddle-specific fit logic to multi-seller commerce, payments, shipping, and real-time transaction tracking.
Creating saddle-specific workflows
Saddlefit needed more than a normal eCommerce flow. The platform had to support horse measurements, saddle fit scores, seller inventory, and personalized recommendations.
Connecting multiple commerce systems
The platform required smooth integration between Shopify, Stripe, Shipo, and Calendly while keeping product, order, payment, and shipping data synced correctly.
Managing real-time transaction statuses
Buyers, sellers, and admins needed clear visibility into saddle transactions, including payment status, selling progress, shipping updates, and order completion.
Designing for scale and flexibility
The backend had to support multiple sellers, dynamic inventory, Shopify-connected stores, and independent Saddlefit listings without becoming complex or costly to maintain.
