Our Work / Hidaya Coffee

A Shopify replacement, built like a luxury brand.

A premium specialty-coffee e-commerce platform (catalog, checkout, subscriptions, rewards, customer accounts, and admin), designed with the polish a templated storefront could never match.

The Challenge

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. Instead, they 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 storefront with a luxury-grade design system
  • Checkout and subscriptions built in, no plugins
  • Rewards, wishlists, reviews, and blog, all built directly in
  • Premium scroll-triggered animations & micro-interactions
  • All customer, order, and product data owned in one database
What We Built

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, built to load fast and rank well in search.

Secure Checkout

One-click checkout with phone wallets and saved cards, as a guest or signed in, with no redirects.

Coffee Subscriptions

"Repeat" for a favorite roast and "Mystery" for a curated monthly box. Choose weekly, biweekly, or monthly cadences, with 20% off.

Rewards Program

Points earned on every order and redeemed against future purchases, built into the store with no extra subscription.

Customer Dashboard

Orders, subscriptions, wishlist, reviews, saved addresses, and payment methods. The entire relationship lives in one place.

Order Tracking

Real-time status from payment to delivery, with an email update at every step.

Admin Panel

Products, orders, subscriptions, customers, rewards, reviews, blog, and settings, with live analytics and financial dashboards.

Rich Blog

An editorial home for origin stories, brewing guides, and founder notes, written to be found in search.

Security

One-tap or email sign-in, every input checked before it is trusted, and payments handled to the strictest card-industry standards.

See It In Motion

Design that earns the "luxury" label

Soft depth, parallax motion, and small touches everywhere, all tuned to the brand palette.

Value Delivered

Why moving off Shopify paid off

The real ROI isn't a single metric. It's the long-term leverage of a platform shaped entirely around the brand.

No Platform Tax Shopify Plus and app subscriptions eliminated, so savings compound every month.
Brand-First Design Every pixel matches the brand, with no "sorry, template doesn't support that."
Ship Features in Days New ideas become code in the same week, fully within our control.
Data Ownership Every customer, order, and subscription record lives in one database they control.
