HS Race Gear: A premium racing e-commerce store, built from scratch

A premium motorsport store where shoppers can inspect race wear in 3D, order made-to-measure, and pay through a checkout the brand owns outright.

The problem

What had to change

HS Race Gear sells high-end racing suits and gear where fit and finish matter enormously — customers spend serious money and need to trust exactly what they are buying. An off-the-shelf template store could not show the product the way the brand needed, and generic "small / medium / large" sizing does not work for made-to-measure race wear.

The brand needed a store that felt as premium as the product, let buyers inspect gear in 3D, captured precise measurements at checkout, and gave the owner a real back office to manage inventory and orders — without paying a platform a cut of every sale.

Who it’s built for

Each part of the build answers a real moment where the sale or the enquiry could be lost.

The careful buyer

“Is this worth the money?”

Spending serious money on race wear and needs to see exactly what arrives.

Fix: A 3D viewer to rotate and inspect gear from every angle.
The made-to-measure customer

“Small, medium or large won’t fit me”

Race suits are cut to the body, so generic sizing loses the sale.

Fix: Measurement forms attached directly to each order.
The store owner

“I need to run this myself”

Products, stock and incoming orders spread across tools.

Fix: A custom admin dashboard for day-to-day running.

What we built

01

Interactive 3D product viewer

We built a real-time 3D viewer with Three.js so shoppers can rotate and inspect gear from every angle before buying. It loads progressively so the experience stays fast even on mobile connections, giving the confidence a flat photo never could.

02

Made-to-measure ordering

Custom measurement forms capture the exact sizing data the brand needs for made-to-order race wear, validated on the client side and attached directly to each order so nothing gets lost between checkout and production.

03

Full Stripe checkout — zero platform fees

A complete Stripe checkout handles payments, taxes, and order confirmation emails. Because the store is custom-built rather than rented from a SaaS platform, the brand keeps 100% of every sale beyond standard payment processing.

04

Bespoke admin dashboard

We shipped a custom admin panel for managing products, inventory levels, and incoming orders — a single place for the team to run the store day to day, with no monthly subscription and full ownership of the data.

How it fits together

The path from a visitor arriving to the job being done.
