INDUSTRY · FOOD & BEVERAGE
Shopify stores for food and drink brands that ship cold, ship far and sell again.
Subscriptions, bundles, age gates, wholesale and shipping rules that respect the product — built for ice cream, sauces, coffee, snacks and drinks brands scaling past the farmers’ market.

FIRST STEP
WHO WE WORK BEST WITH
Who we work best with among food and drink brands.
A GOOD FIT IF
- Subscriptions or bundles are central to your model
- Shipping is complicated: cold chain, alcohol, state rules, delivery days
- You sell wholesale and at events as well as online
- You want one team for store, email and CRO
PROBABLY NOT A FIT IF
- A restaurant that needs ordering software rather than a store
- You need a store live in under two weeks
- You want the cheapest theme install possible
WHAT USUALLY BREAKS
The product gets rave reviews. The checkout does not.
Six things we see on almost every food and drink audit.
01
Shipping costs shown too late
Cold-pack and expedited fees appear at checkout and the cart is abandoned. Clear thresholds and rules shown early keep orders.
02
Build-a-box done with discount codes
Duplicate SKUs and broken inventory. Native bundles and box builders keep stock and margins right.
03
Age gates that break on mobile
A popup that fails on iPhone blocks half your traffic. Compliant, fast verification that remembers the visitor.
04
Subscriptions nobody manages
No skip, swap or pause. Self-serve portals cut churn and support tickets.
05
Wholesale by email and PDF
Retail buyers emailing orders. Shopify B2B with price lists and net terms turns it into a channel.
06
Email with no replenishment
No “you are about to run out” flow for a consumable product. The easiest revenue in the category.

4 questions
Can you handle alcohol compliance?
Age verification, state shipping rules and compliant checkout flows, with your compliance partner handling licensing.
Do you integrate with cold-chain 3PLs?
Yes. We connect Shopify to your 3PL and set shipping rules by region, ship day and temperature so perishable orders only go out when they can arrive safely.
Can you build a build-a-box?
Yes. We build build-a-box and bundle flows into the theme or with a bundle app, including subscriptions for boxes customers reorder.
What does a food store build cost?
Store builds start at $10,000 and migrations at $2,500, fixed price. Subscriptions, age gates and shipping rules add scope. See pricing or the website cost calculator.
