Why It Matters
Why Ecommerce Works for Pet Products
Pet ecommerce is built on subscription and repeat — food, treats, litter, flea meds. We build stores around subscribe-and-save logic, breed/size product filtering, and AOV-lifting bundles tuned to the way pet parents actually re-buy.
Canadian Ecommerce Grows 14%/Year
Online retail in Canada is now over $80B annually. Brands without a strong online store are leaving money on the table every quarter.
Mobile = 60% of Orders
Most carts are filled on a phone, not a desktop. If your mobile UX is clunky, you lose 30%+ of orders before checkout.
Cart Abandonment is 70%
Industry average is brutal. The fix isn't more emails — it's better checkout UX, transparent shipping, multiple payment options.
Speed = Conversions
1 second of extra load time = 7% drop in conversions. We hit Lighthouse 90+ even on heavy product catalogs.
Recurring Categories Dominate
Pet food, treats, litter, flea meds — high-frequency repeat purchases. Subscription and auto-ship can drive 50%+ of revenue.
Emotional Buying Decisions
Pet owners spend on quality and trust. Reviews, brand story, and ethical sourcing matter as much as price.
Breed & Size Filtering
Big dog vs small dog, indoor vs outdoor cat, puppy vs senior — proper filtering and recommendation engines lift AOV 25%+.
Visual Reviews & UGC
Photos and videos of pets using products convert 3× over text reviews alone. Make UGC easy to upload, prominent on PDPs.
How We Work
Our Ecommerce Build Process for Pet Products
2 — Brand & Visual Design
Custom theme design — homepage, collection, product, cart, checkout. Mockups in Figma, approved before any development starts.
3 — Theme & Custom Functionality
Clean Liquid (Shopify) or PHP (WooCommerce) — no app overload. Custom features (subscriptions, B2B pricing, multi-currency) built right.
4 — Product Catalog & Migration
If you're moving from another platform, we handle the migration: products, customers, orders, redirects. Zero data loss, minimum downtime.
5 — Payment, Shipping & Tax Setup
Stripe, ShopPay, Apple/Google Pay, Canada Post integration, automatic tax calculation by province. Test orders end-to-end before launch.
6 — Launch & Conversion Optimization
Soft launch, full launch, then ongoing CRO — A/B test product pages, checkout flow, upsells. We don't stop at "live."
Whether it's your first store or a migration off another platform, every pet products brands project follows the same six steps with a fixed quote and timeline.
