Video Commerce E-Commerce & retail
LIVEBUY
Live video shopping for brands and creators, on web, iOS and Android.
LIVEBUY, a Berlin startup, lets brands sell through live video with their creators, employees, partners and customers. Valens integrated low-latency live streaming and built the cross-platform mobile app, the web admin panel and the automated testing behind the platform.
The problem
E-commerce brands lacked scalable live video selling infrastructure that stays smooth, interactive and consistent across devices.
Our delivery
A real-time live shopping platform with a React Native app for iOS and Android, a web admin panel with analytics, and automated end-to-end testing across mobile and web.
How we worked
Project context
LIVEBUY's live video shopping platform connects buyers and sellers through real-time streams. Brands manage their creators from one central panel and can bring in employees, brand partners, influencers, key opinion leaders and their own customers to produce live content.
Delivery scope
Real-time live video streaming integration, a cross-platform mobile app, a web application with an admin panel for user management and analytics for investors and clients, and quality assurance with automated end-to-end testing.
How we built it
The mobile app is built once in React Native for Android and iOS, the web app in React, and the backend in Java. The team tuned performance across the whole video experience and worked on the player, product and cart design, swiping, sharing, chat flow, socket handling and offline chat. End-to-end tests run on Detox for mobile and Playwright for web, coordinated by a test orchestration framework that spans both.

Impact
The platform now covers live video shopping, video product pages, a shoppable video feed, content creation, platform management and data analytics, with look-and-feel options that match each shop's design. Smoother streams brought higher engagement and longer sessions during live events, and more conversions for sellers.
