About The Project
Research Revolution for Amazon Merch
We built MerchNinja 2.0 by redesigning their dashboard, building a new Market Sentiment feature, updating Keepa API integration, adding Chargebee, updating their UX and UI, and making tons of improvements to their software.
Problems Solved
MerchNinja was performing inefficiently due to old scripts, a cluttered database design, and a UX/UI design that needed an upgrade.
To compete better with other players in the market, it required third-party design suggestions, an events calendar, more research options, and a better payment experience.

Script and
API Updates
MerchNinja uses Typescript and JavaScript for their core functionality, along with Keepa API for product information.
We updated all their scripts to the latest versions, improved their compatibility, and updated the Keepa API integration to include more Merch by Amazon products.
Curation and
Design Ideas
MerchNinja was missing important curation features and admins couldn’t share recommendations, favorites, or category-based ideas.
For the admin side, we made it easier to edit trends, and added new list types called Niche and Sub-niche so they can curate the most searched designs through these lists for MerchNinja users to see.
For the users, we added a public favourites page where they can store their favourite designs, and a third-party integration with ThreadBasket for design inspiration.

Redesigning the UX
For UX improvements, we added infinity scrolling, easier navigation, a static sidebar menu, and various other upgrades.
We redesigned their entire UI with a new Ninja Cyborg theme, and added new dashboard components like:
- Best Sellers Rank Ticker
- Market Sentiment Index
- Blogs Section
- Roadmap
- Version History

Improved Research
Users can utilise Amazon search and Google trends data directly from MerchNinja while researching complete details of keywords.
We powered MerchNinja 2.0 with a trademark keyword research feature and ASIN tracking for monitoring changes in any product.
How It Was Built
Code and Design Overhaul
This project required more than a few simple improvements. To leave their competition behind, we had to design and build MerchNinja 2.0. This required studying and learning from their competition, adding innovative new features that were missing in the market, and making design improvements based on user feedback.
Standardized Processes
We used Agile to build new features for MerchNinja. Our process included discovery, followed by development, cloud setup, QA & testing, and proper documentation.
