SpaceX designs, manufactures, and launches the most advanced rockets and spacecraft in the world, and has garnered a large and loyal fan base. SmartOSC was tasked with helping SpaceX build its merchandise store to engage with these fans. Just like its brand, the website needs to be attractive and highly user-friendly. Above all, the site must be optimized for mobile devices to provide the best shopping experience for customers. 


SmartOSC needs to develop a completely new commerce infrastructure for SpaceX to quickly and efficiently operate its merchandise business.

SmartOSC built a public store and a dedicated employee store, then integrated a third-party fulfillment platform to provide the best service. We determined that Magento CE was the most cost-effective solution for this project, providing the right power and functionality for SpaceX to build a robust and engaging website.

The infrastructure is set up and optimized using AWS as the hosting solution, providing fast and stable services while also being scalable to support high global traffic and order volumes. Varnish was adopted to facilitate e-commerce transactions in a fast and secure manner. The combination of AWS and Varnish optimizes the speed, security, and reliability of this new site.

One of the goals for SpaceX was to simplify platform administration. A custom reporting system was developed to capture only the necessary data, streamlining the management process. Given the scale and global appeal of the brand, both association management systems and enterprise resource planning solutions were implemented. This ensures effective fulfillment services for membership records and product pricing.
