How do you build an online shop that only ever sells a single product? Jaroslav Bobrowski, Full-Stack Senior Lead Developer at Campudus, talks in an interview about the technical implementation of topdrop with Vendure.
Hamburg-based topdropmarket GmbH sells exactly one top international wine at a time with topdrop — hand-picked, strictly limited, and offered at an unbeatable price. As soon as the offer is sold out, the next wine goes online. A concept that poses challenges for classic shop systems: catalogs, categories, and faceted search play no role here. Instead, what matters is an offer lifecycle that reliably and seamlessly switches to the next product.

For the implementation, Campudus chose the headless commerce framework Vendure — in use since the 1.0.0 beta version. In the interview, Jaroslav Bobrowski explains why Vendure's plugin architecture was exactly right for this project, which custom solutions were developed — from automated offer rotation to a refer-a-friend program — and how the shop stays stable even during traffic spikes on Black Friday, Christmas, or Easter.
