What the client asked for

Founder Samuel Debussche runs a Belgian direct-to-consumer equine care brand. The flagship horsetonic.eu was on WordPress with WooCommerce, Elementor, WPML, Mollie and bpost. Slow, bloated, fragile to maintain, and the editorial bar the brand wanted was capped by the plugin stack.

+ process

How it was built

Migrated everything to Next.js 16 with App Router, Tailwind CSS 4, next-intl for NL, EN and FR, Mollie payments and the bpost shipping API. Products kept as JSON and MDX. Deployed to Vercel. DNS A-record cut over with zero downtime.

+ outcome

What shipped and what it changed

Live on horsetonic.eu since April 2026. Three locales, idempotent webhook handlers, AI-generated product imagery on brand. Core customer journey faster, editorial control back in the team's hands, no more plugin treadmill.

+ the technical win

Slug-preserving migration so SEO-indexed URLs stayed intact, idempotent Mollie webhook handlers so duplicate events never double-charge, and a shared transactional-email setup across the founder's sibling properties.

+ scope

What was delivered

  • Multi-payment Mollie integration for cards, Bancontact and bank transfer with idempotent webhook handlers.
  • bpost shipping API with live label generation and tracking.
  • Webhook reliability with idempotent handlers, so duplicate events never double-charge.
  • Slug-preserving migration so indexed URLs stayed intact.
  • AI-generated product imagery for four of eight products, on-brand with the equine palette.
