Vendor Now is Live!

We’re proud to announce the official launch of Vendor Now, a newly designed online store created to deliver a clean, reliable, and easy-to-use shopping experience. From everyday items to outdoor products, our platform was built to serve a wide range of customer needs, all in one place.

How It Started

The journey began on December 8th, 2024. While we initially considered using pre-made themes, we ultimately chose to design our own website from the ground up. This decision allowed us to maintain full creative control and build a platform tailored to our vision.

As a two-person team with a dedicated developer, we focused on creating a streamlined experience despite limited resources. A key milestone came on January 6th, 2025, when Vendor Now LLC was officially registered.

Built with Shopify

Shopify’s development tools allowed us to accelerate the building process and move quickly toward launch. We reached launch readiness on July 4th, 2025. While certain aspects of the platform were restrictive, particularly around customizing the checkout page, we understood these limitations were in place to protect users and ensure secure transactions. We successfully customized our checkout to support both light and dark themes, maintaining design flexibility within the bounds of security.

Bringing Cryptocurrency to Everyday Purchases

Cryptocurrency is used across the country, but it is still often seen as a niche or speculative payment method. At Vendor Now, we want to help change that. We believe crypto should have a place in everyday online shopping. That is why we offer the option to pay with cryptocurrency, while still fully supporting traditional payment methods. Whether you prefer to pay with crypto or card, we have you covered.

A Note on Mobile Compatibility

While our desktop experience is fully functional, mobile optimization was not complete at the time of launch. This is now a top priority. We are actively working on mobile compatibility and are committed to delivering a responsive and accessible experience on all devices. At the moment, only the contact page is accessible via mobile, but full support is on the way.

Looking Ahead

Our product catalog is growing steadily, and we aim to continuously introduce new items so customers can discover something new every time they visit. Our goal is to serve a wide variety of needs through an easy and enjoyable online shopping experience.

After months of dedicated development, we are excited to open our virtual doors. Thank you for supporting Vendor Now during this exciting new chapter. We look forward to growing with you.
