Gameflo partnered with Nexus Commerce to launch a storytelling-driven website for their flagship game, PickUp—a fast-paced basketball card game featuring 40+ vivid characters. We created a seamless experience that brought the game to life with custom player pages, social content, and a streamlined Shopify integration that boosted conversion.
Overview
Gameflo is a dynamic, Black-owned gaming company creating community through play, empowerment, and representation. At the heart of their brand is PickUp, a card-based basketball game that lets players act as GM, coach, and athlete in one fast-paced session. Gameflo came to Nexus Commerce ready to graduate from a Wix MVP into a storytelling-first platform that could scale brand awareness and sales. We delivered a high-converting Webflow website and Shopify integration that turned gameplay into an immersive journey.
