Do you work with food and beverage brands?

Yes. We partner with food and beverage brands that want a Shopify site built to drive repeat revenue, support subscriptions, and scale with the business. With a long history of supporting household names like Teapigs, Adnams, and Misfits, we intimately understand the nuances of selling perishables, beverages, and FMCG products online.

Can you migrate our store to Shopify?

Yes. We can manage migrations from other platforms to Shopify. For example, we’ve successfully replatformed brands like Snowdonia Cheese, Teapigs, Adnam, and JING Tea to Shopify. Our processes include the meticulous planning needed to protect customer data, SEO rankings, and existing subscriber relationships. We ensure a smooth transition with zero downtime, so your loyal customers never miss a scheduled delivery.

Do you support subscriptions and recurring orders?

Yes. Subscriptions are a major part of food and beverage ecommerce, and we build Shopify experiences that make sign-up, retention, and repeat ordering easier. For example, we've implemented highly successful, user-friendly subscriptions for brands like Teapigs, Misfits, Watchhouse Coffee and Rave Coffee, providing customers with total flexibility while significantly boosting lifetime value.

Can you handle complex product setups like bundles, variants, and pack sizes?

Yes. Food and beverage stores often need flexible product structures, and we can design Shopify setups that support those buying patterns cleanly. We’ve developed our own bespoke Shopify bundle builder app , utilised by brands like Rave Coffee, Teapigs, and Snowdonia Cheese. This allows customers to easily mix and match flavours, create custom gift boxes, and build personalised cases, which drastically increases average order value.

How do you improve conversion rate?

We look at the full purchase journey. This includes UX, product pages, checkout flow, site speed, and subscription pathways, to remove friction and increase orders. For the food and beverage sector, this also means streamlining complex logistics (like implementing our proprietary date and delivery selector app for perishable goods used by Cutter & Squidge and Snowdonia Cheese) and clearly communicating ingredients, allergens, and pricing.

Do you work with our existing tech stack?

Yes, we can work with your existing stack. We conduct an initial tech stack review at the proposal stage to outline your architecture and provide ballpark costs. Once you are onboarded, we execute an in-depth review during our discovery phase to evaluate how your current setup is working for you and lock in the best ecosystem for your food and beverage brand. This ensures it easily handles vertical-specific needs like batch tracking, perishable fulfilment, and complex subscriptions. Because blubolt is completely agnostic, we aren’t tied to specific tech partners. We evaluate every client on a case-by-case basis and always prioritise native Shopify capabilities first, so you never pay for unnecessary apps. If you’re already committed to an existing app or system, we will naturally work to maximise the return on your investment.

How long does a project take?

The timeline depends heavily on your brand's complexity and requirements. An Express Launch typically takes 2 to 3 months, offering a rapid route to market. A Quick Launch, which includes more bespoke customisations, usually spans 3 to 6 months. For high-volume beauty brands requiring a fully Custom Build with extensive features, the project will typically take 6 to 9 months from discovery to launch.

What happens after launch?

Our partnership doesn't end at launch. Through our 'Grow' service, we offer ongoing, data-led optimisation and strategic support. You'll work closely with our continuous improvement and growth teams to continually refine the customer journey, launch new bespoke features, run A/B tests, and successfully scale your food and beverage brand internationally.
