Problem

EU parents who want premium Montessori gear end up on US or UK sites with heavy shipping, or on AliExpress knock-offs. The official manufacturers (Nienhuis, GAM, Educo) distribute through small-scale resellers whose web presence is often a barely-functional Shopify theme in one language. There was room for a single EU-focused storefront that looked like a premium brand and spoke four languages.

Approach

Become an authorized reseller with the three manufacturers. Build the catalogue infrastructure once, populate it with real product data from the distributor feeds. Four languages (SK / CS / EN / DE) from day one. Google Shopping feed engineered properly so Merchant Center approves the catalogue end-to-end.

AI image pipeline: strip backgrounds, normalize colour temperature, and generate social-ready variants from the distributor's flat shots — so every product has consistent presentation regardless of which manufacturer supplied the source image.

This is my reference for "can you build a real e-commerce that converts, not just a pretty storefront?" The answer sits at faborino.com and has order history to back it up.
