Rebuilding checkout for a high-growth marketplace
An Angular SPA on a Rails API that tripled mobile conversion and cut support tickets in half.
The challenge
Meridian's legacy checkout was slow and fragile, timing out under load and generating a flood of "payment failed" tickets that weren't really failures—bleeding revenue at their highest-traffic moments.
What we built
We rebuilt the storefront as an Angular single-page app backed by a Rails API-only service, with optimistic UI, resilient Stripe payment handling, real-time inventory checks, and full instrumentation so the team could finally see what was happening.
The outcome
Checkout completion time dropped 60%, mobile conversion rose 3.2x, and payment-related support tickets fell by half within the first month—now handling peak traffic without breaking a sweat.
