Unfortunately they are still highly dependent on other APIs.
When San Diego Comiccon went live on funko.com (shopify) the website was fine but the checkout was bottlenecked by the API calls to shipping providers. Many never were able to checkout and Funko had to issue an apology.
Unfortunate that no matter how great you can improve your own product you may still be dependent upon others.
- randomdude402 6y agoI'm interested to know more about this. I've used about five different e-commerce solutions and they all make API calls to shipping providers. What was different here?
- thejacenxpress 6y agoThe amount of traffic was too high. Unsure if they were being throttled or if they use a task queue that went bad. Who knows. https://comicbook.com/irl/news/funko-pop-comic-con-2020-exclusives-fans-bitter/#2 https://comicbook.com/irl/news/funko-pop-comic-con-2020-excl...
