An easy-to-manage online store with modern fulfilment
-
The ability to handle orders on demand without stock holding
-
Seamless integration with their existing WooCommerce website

Ethically sourced, comfortable garments that reflect their values
Solution: Powered by Merchr

🛍️ The Project Trust Shop: projecttrust.org.uk/shop
From classic logo t-shirts to sleek polos and pullovers, the shop quickly became a go-to for volunteers heading abroad and alumni wanting to represent their cause.
🔗 WooCommerce Integration:
To ensure a seamless customer journey, Merchr connected directly with Project Trust’s existing WooCommerce website. This means every product sold on their main site is automatically fulfilled by Merchr, no extra admin, no hassle.
