Why It Matters
Why Ecommerce Works for Food & Beverage
Food and beverage ecommerce has constraints other categories don't — perishables, cold-chain shipping, regulated labels, and provincial alcohol rules. We build stores that handle those limitations cleanly so the customer experience stays simple.
Canadian Ecommerce Grows 14%/Year
Online retail in Canada is now over $80B annually. Brands without a strong online store are leaving money on the table every quarter.
Mobile = 60% of Orders
Most carts are filled on a phone, not a desktop. If your mobile UX is clunky, you lose 30%+ of orders before checkout.
Cart Abandonment is 70%
Industry average is brutal. The fix isn't more emails — it's better checkout UX, transparent shipping, multiple payment options.
Speed = Conversions
1 second of extra load time = 7% drop in conversions. We hit Lighthouse 90+ even on heavy product catalogs.
Cold Chain & Logistics
Perishables need different shipping logic — insulated packaging, expedited delivery, geo-restrictions. Integration with food-grade carriers is critical.
Subscription Models Drive LTV
Coffee, snacks, meal kits, supplements — repeat-purchase categories that 4–6× LTV when subscriptions are done right.
Storytelling Sells Food
Origin stories, founder videos, recipe content — food brands sell narrative as much as product. Content needs to live alongside PDPs.
Allergen & Dietary Filters
Vegan, gluten-free, keto, kosher — modern food customers filter aggressively. Proper category filtering is conversion-critical.
How We Work
Our Ecommerce Build Process for Food & Beverage
2 — Brand & Visual Design
Custom theme design — homepage, collection, product, cart, checkout. Mockups in Figma, approved before any development starts.
3 — Theme & Custom Functionality
Clean Liquid (Shopify) or PHP (WooCommerce) — no app overload. Custom features (subscriptions, B2B pricing, multi-currency) built right.
4 — Product Catalog & Migration
If you're moving from another platform, we handle the migration: products, customers, orders, redirects. Zero data loss, minimum downtime.
5 — Payment, Shipping & Tax Setup
Stripe, ShopPay, Apple/Google Pay, Canada Post integration, automatic tax calculation by province. Test orders end-to-end before launch.
6 — Launch & Conversion Optimization
Soft launch, full launch, then ongoing CRO — A/B test product pages, checkout flow, upsells. We don't stop at "live."
Whether it's your first store or a migration off another platform, every food and beverage brands project follows the same six steps with a fixed quote and timeline.
