Introduction

Sightglass Coffee is a company that sells coffee and offers the best quality imaginable in every element of the industry. Sightglass Coffee previously had a Shopify store, but were having problems with the UI and design of the website. They were also seeking improvements to the current store and adding new features.

Hence, we proposed to create a brand-new Shopify 2.0 theme for the store from scratch. Additionally, we also gave our recommendations for the User Interface as well as other feature additions, which the client appreciated the most.

Key Features

We integrated some features that made it easier for coffee lovers to shop for their ultimate desire.

Subscription

Integrate and customize the Skio App for the Subscription features which provides users to purchase coffee for number of months or years, so they don’t require to place orders for each month.

Free Shipping / Gift suggestion

This feature offers suggestions on the additional amount needed in your cart to qualify for additional offers. By acting on them, users can effortlessly avoid shipping charges on their orders.

UPSell products

Introduced a feature that allows admin users to customize upsell product displays for customers, as per items currently in their cart. This enhancement provides more relevant upselling opportunities.

Brand colors choice for product details

Provided admin user an option for the product to choose the brand color, so based on that the Product detail page will be displayed based on the theme color selection.

Section and Block features

Crafted diverse sections with dedicated blocks for each distinct design, allowing the admin to effortlessly adjust, modify, and personalize page layouts, enhancing the overall user experience.

Customize product combo suggestion

Enable admins to effortlessly create a Product combo pack for customized customer suggestions. If customers find it appealing, they can purchase all items with one seamless click.

Business Challenges

When the project for Sightglass Coffee came to us, we took a look at the company’s existing Shopify store and its operations and understood their business model.
Following a discussion of all the requirements and needs we recommended updating the theme to Shopify 2.0, which has all the capabilities and features that are required for a store.
