In a recent successful trial project for the charity Flyktninghjelpen, WeAssist has played a crucial role in realizing their first-ever online store on the Shopify platform. This non-traditional initiative not only represents a new phase for Flyktninghjelpen, but it has also opened the doors for increased exposure and support for Flyktninghjelpen.

‍

Flyktninghjelpen, known for its commitment to helping the most vulnerable communities, had never previously taken the plunge into the world of e-commerce. The new online store, which was designed and set up by We Assist, was considered a strategic move to increase the organisation's visibility and reach out to an even wider audience.

The very product that is very creative and appropriate for the time we are entering — a gingerbread house template designed by renowned architectural firm Snøhetta. The product, which not only brings joy to Norwegian homes where young and old can create gingerbread houses with modern designs, but also supports Flyktninghjelpen's humanitarian efforts, has become a source of double joy for buyers.

The available template can be ordered in physical form, including a printout of the template and an informative booklet on Flyktninghjelpen. In addition, Flyktninghjelpen offers a convenient digital version in PDF format, so that customers can print it at home. This flexible option has proven to be popular with customers and provides easy access to the product.

We Assist chose Shopify as the platform to establish the new online store for Flyktninghjelpen, and this choice has proven to be very successful. Shopify, with its ease of use and versatility along with its own minor tweaks made by We Assist, has made it easy for both organizations and customers to find their way around the online store. The intuitive platform has played a key role in making the experience smooth and efficient for customers.

The results have been impressive. Only after a few days of the online store's launch, it has registered several hundred sales. The rapid success illustrates not only the appeal of the product, but also the strength of a collaboration between charities such as Flyktninghjelpen and the support of experienced companies such as We Assist.

‍

This inspiring story not only provides a glimpse into the success of Flyktninghjelpen's online store, but it also sheds light on how a well-chosen collaboration and the right platform choice can make a significant impact on charitable initiatives. We Assist, with its focus on efficiency and strategic approach, has once again proven that they are leaders in supporting organizations striving to make a positive difference in the world.
