Introducing HYPA: The Evolution of Space 48 apps

Today marks an exciting milestone as we unveil HYPA. Our mission is clear: to democratize ecommerce for ambitious businesses, making it accessible to all.

Our journey began when Tom Robertshaw, fuelled by a vision to revolutionise the industry, gathered a team of seasoned professionals to create Space 48 apps.

We were driven by the desire to bridge the gap between platform capabilities and the aspirations of online retailers. Our journey has been shaped by the invaluable feedback and unwavering support of our customers, alongside our pivotal partnership with BigCommerce and its thriving community. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who have contributed to our growth.

Today, Space 48 apps evolves into HYPA, offering a suite of cutting-edge solutions for ecommerce businesses. Our flagship products – Hyper Search, Metafields Manager and Automated Categories – are already empowering online retailers on the BigCommerce platform.

At the core of HYPA lies a simple yet powerful mission: to create compelling ecommerce experiences that would increase conversion and simplify store management. Drawing from the collective ecommerce knowledge of Space 48, we have developed innovative, user-friendly apps that seamlessly integrate into BigCommerce.

Our journey has been guided by the principle that technology is more than just a tool; it’s a means to support and empower businesses at every stage of their growth. We understand that the real value lies in being a reliable partner. From evaluating app suitability to providing hands-on guidance during implementation & operation, HYPA is committed to offering unparalleled support to our clients.


This launch stands as a testament to the culture of innovation, agility, and opportunity fostered within Dark Matter Commerce under the exceptional leadership of Jon Woodall. As we embark on this new chapter, we renew our commitment to distil decades of ecommerce experience into impactful apps.

With HYPA, businesses can expect more than just technology. They can expect tailored solutions and exceptional support, empowering them to thrive in the competitive world of ecommerce.

Join us as we redefine ecommerce together. Welcome to HYPA.
