What we do

One team for the whole CPG growth stack

Design, Shopify development, conversion rate optimization, growth marketing and lifecycle email & SMS — under one roof, so DTC, subscriptions, wholesale and retail all pull in the same direction.

01

Design

Food brand website design

Appetite-first, brand-led design — product pages, recipe hubs and bundle builders that make a $6 product feel worth shipping.

  • Food & CPG website design
  • PDPs with nutrition & allergen info
  • Recipe & content hubs
  • Bundle & variety-pack builders
  • Where-to-buy & store locator
  • Design systems for launches
02

Development

Shopify & Shopify Plus

Shopify Plus builds for DTC, subscriptions and wholesale on one platform — with the integrations that keep fulfillment and retail running.

  • Custom Shopify themes
  • Subscriptions (Recharge & Shopify)
  • Bundle & build-your-own logic
  • Shopify B2B & wholesale portals
  • Store locator integrations
  • Speed & Core Web Vitals
03

CRO

Conversion rate optimization

CPG economics are won on AOV and repeat rate. We test thresholds, bundles, subscription offers and checkout — and keep what wins.

  • A/B testing program
  • Free-shipping threshold tests
  • Bundle & AOV experiments
  • Subscribe-and-save offer testing
  • Cart & checkout optimization
  • Analytics & attribution setup
04

Growth

Growth & marketing

Recipes, ingredients and brand story earn search and social attention that paid alone can’t buy. We build that engine around your store.

  • Recipe & content SEO
  • AI search & answer-engine visibility
  • Landing pages for paid traffic
  • Reviews & UGC programs
  • Retail & DTC channel strategy
  • Amazon vs DTC planning
05

Lifecycle

Email & SMS with Klaviyo

Consumables should reorder themselves. Klaviyo flows timed to how fast customers use the product turn trial into habit.

  • Klaviyo setup & audits
  • Welcome & first-order flows
  • Replenishment timed to usage
  • Subscription save & winback
  • Recipe & content campaigns
  • SMS programs
Why CPG ecommerce is different

Generic Shopify playbooks miss what CPG brands need

Low price points meet real shipping costs — and shoppers notice: 48% of U.S. adults have abandoned a cart because extra costs like shipping were too high. CPG DTC works when the basket, the threshold and the reorder are designed together.

01

Low AOV vs. shipping costs

A single bag or bottle rarely covers fulfillment on its own.

→ Bundles, variety packs & a tested free-shipping threshold
02

Consumables should be recurring

If customers run out and forget, you pay to acquire them again.

→ Subscribe-and-save plus Klaviyo replenishment flows
03

Retail is the main channel

Most sales happen on shelves — DTC has to support them, not compete.

→ Where-to-buy locators; DTC as the brand and data channel
04

Wholesale buyers need their own experience

Retailers and distributors need pricing, terms and reorders.

→ A Shopify B2B portal on the same Plus store
05

Shoppers read the label first

Nutrition, allergens and ingredients decide the purchase.

→ PDPs built around nutrition, allergens & ingredients, plus reviews & UGC
06

Recipes drive discovery

People search for what to make, not for your brand name.

→ A recipe & content hub built for SEO that feeds email

What makes NINE15 a good Shopify agency for CPG brands?

We combine design, Shopify Plus development, CRO and Klaviyo lifecycle under one team and have grown CPG brands like Siete Foods — a five-year partnership through its $1.2B acquisition by PepsiCo — Masienda and Pourri.

Is Shopify right for a food or CPG brand?

Yes. Shopify Plus runs DTC, subscriptions, B2B wholesale and POS on one platform — Pourri, for example, sells to consumers and wholesale accounts from the same Shopify setup.

Should a retail-first brand invest in DTC?

Yes, for different reasons than retail: DTC is where you own the brand experience and first-party data and can test new products — while retail drives volume.

How do you make low-AOV products profitable online?

With bundles and variety packs, a free-shipping threshold set by testing rather than guessing, and subscriptions that spread fulfillment cost over more revenue.

Do you set up subscriptions for consumable products?

Yes — subscribe-and-save with Recharge or Shopify’s native subscriptions, plus Klaviyo replenishment flows timed to how fast customers use the product.

Can we run wholesale and DTC from the same store?

Yes. Shopify Plus B2B gives wholesale buyers price lists, net terms and a buyer portal alongside your DTC storefront.

How do you handle “where to buy” for retail?

A store locator and retailer links that send shoppers to the shelf when that’s what they want — so your site supports retail sell-through instead of competing with it.

How do recipes and content help a food brand sell?

Recipe and ingredient content earns organic search, gives email something worth sending, and leads straight into product — Masienda’s education-led site is a good example.
