A Shopify replacement, built like a luxury brand.
A premium specialty-coffee e-commerce platform — catalog, Stripe checkout, subscriptions, rewards, customer accounts, and admin — designed with the polish a templated storefront could never match.
Shopify couldn't keep up with the brand
Hidaya's founders didn't want to launch "another coffee site." They wanted a premium, owned experience — and kept hitting the ceiling of templates, app subscriptions, and third-party plugins.
On Shopify
- Template designs that felt like every other coffee store
- Monthly platform + app subscriptions stacking up
- Rewards, subscriptions, and wishlists each needed a separate paid app
- No control over animations, micro-interactions, or checkout polish
- Customer, order, and blog data spread across vendor silos
Our Build
- Custom Next.js storefront with luxury-grade design system
- Native Stripe checkout & Stripe Subscriptions — no plugins
- Rewards, wishlists, reviews, and blog built in, not bolted on
- Premium scroll-triggered animations & micro-interactions
- All customer, order, and product data owned in one database
A full-stack e-commerce platform
Every surface the customer touches and every surface the team manages — shipped as one coherent product.
Product Catalog
Multi-size coffee products with origin stories, tasting notes, roast levels, and filtering — all server-rendered for speed and SEO.
Stripe Checkout
One-click secure checkout with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and saved cards. Guest or authenticated, no redirects.
Coffee Subscriptions
"Repeat" for a favorite roast and "Mystery" for a curated monthly box — weekly/biweekly/monthly cadences with 20% off.
Rewards Program
Earn points on every order, redeem against future purchases. Fully integrated — no Smile.io, no Loyaltylion subscription.
Customer Dashboard
Orders, subscriptions, wishlist, reviews, saved addresses, and payment methods — the entire relationship in one place.
Order Tracking
Real-time status from payment to delivery, with transactional email at every step via Nodemailer.
Admin Panel
Products, orders, subscriptions, customers, rewards, reviews, blog, and settings — with live analytics and financial dashboards.
Rich Blog (TipTap)
Editorial platform for origin stories, brewing guides, and founder notes — SEO-optimized and server-rendered.
Auth & Security
NextAuth with credentials + Google OAuth, Zod validation everywhere, signed webhooks, and Stripe best practices.
Design that earns the "luxury" label
Glass morphism, gradient mesh backdrops, parallax scroll, and micro-interactions tuned to the brand palette.
Why moving off Shopify paid off
The real ROI isn't a single metric — it's the long-term leverage of owning the platform outright.
Modern stack, production-ready
Picked for speed, maintainability, and great developer-experience handoffs.
