RapidSpike helps eCommerce brands maintain speed, security, and control throughout the customer journey, from cart to checkout. Their platform analyses a website’s performance, security, and user experience to identify areas that might be affecting revenue. They provide a comprehensive toolkit designed to ensure websites consistently perform at their best.

Challenge

We are developing a Shopify public app that will act as a bridge between Shopify Merchants and RapidSpike’s CartShark system.

This will allow for continuous detection of scripts on merchant sites and help determine their security level.

The app needs to communicate with CartShark to register new accounts/sites and configure ongoing tracking. By developing this Shopify app, RapidSpike aims to open themselves up to the Shopify market.

Solution

Velstar is developing a Multi-Tenant Public Shopify App that will be released on the Shopify App Store.

This app will handle the onboarding flow, including Shopify App installation and handshake, registering new users and sites on CartShark, and configuring the detection tracker. It will also register other domains associated with the Shopify store on CartShark.

A theme app extension will be created to inject the RapidSpike JS script onto pages for tracking interactions. Additionally, we are configuring a usage-based subscription model, calling a RapidSpike endpoint to retrieve usage values and apply them to the subscription charge.

We will also provide an endpoint for RapidSpike to trigger a one-time charge for manual automated user journey flow builds. Comprehensive application testing will be conducted.
