Stores engineered to sell — and keep what the apps were taking
Every third-party order costs you up to 30% in commissions. Every clunky checkout loses buyers you paid to acquire. Mini-Labs builds Shopify and custom storefronts engineered to convert — and direct-ordering systems so good your customers prefer them to the apps.
Everything this system covers
- Shopify and custom storefront design and development
- Restaurant direct online ordering — keep the delivery-app margin
- Conversion rate optimization and A/B testing
- Email & SMS retention flows and abandoned-cart recovery
- Product storytelling, photography direction and merchandising
- Analytics wired to revenue, not pageviews
Measured outcomes, not promises
