Beauty on Shopify Plus, built for repeat.

Repeat is the whole model — subscriptions that leak, sample-to-full-size journeys, and replenishment timing a template cannot reason about. We build the Shopify Plus systems that turn a first order into a second.

The problem

Where beauty brands get stuck

The patterns recur. Shopify Plus solves some by default; the rest is engineering.

Challenge

Subscription churn

Off-the-shelf subscriptions leak; the dunning and skip-a-month logic is where retention lives.

Challenge

Sampling + bundles

Sample-to-full-size and build-a-bundle flows strain the catalog and cart.

Challenge

Replenishment timing

Knowing when to nudge a re-order is a data problem, not a template.

What we build

Shopify Plus for beauty, engineered to fit

Challenge

Subscription engineering

Skip, swap, dunning, and win-back wired to keep MRR, not just start it.

Challenge

Bundle + sample logic

Build-a-bundle and gift-with-purchase that the cart and inventory respect.

Challenge

Replenishment signals

Re-order timing from real purchase cadence, fed to email and on-site.

The AI layer

AI that moves the numbers for beauty

Not AI bolted on the side — agents and models wired into the beauty workflows that shape revenue, with human approval and an audit trail.

The AI layer

Replenishment prediction

Per-customer re-order timing from real consumption cadence, so the nudge lands when the bottle is actually empty.

Routine & shade matching

An AI quiz and recommendation that match shade, skin type, and routine — lifting AOV and cutting wrong-product returns.

Churn signals

Models flag subscribers about to lapse so win-back fires before they cancel, not after.

Questions

Beauty on Shopify Plus, answered

Which subscription approach do you use?
Whatever keeps MRR, not just starts it — usually a native or Recharge-class engine with skip, swap, dunning, and win-back engineered properly, since that is where retention actually lives.
Can you handle build-a-bundle and gift-with-purchase?
Yes, with the cart and inventory treating the bundle as a real unit — not a coupon hack that breaks fulfillment and reporting.
How do you handle ingredient and claims data?
We model ingredients and regulated claims as structured catalog data, so regional rules and product-detail content stay correct as you sell into new markets.
When should we nudge a re-order?
From real purchase cadence per SKU and customer, fed back to email and on-site — not a fixed 30-day guess.
