Solidus demo store
The Gift Bow
The gifting shop that sells the second item for you.
A hamper and gifting store, and the first shop of the fleet. Gifting is the perfect stress test for commerce: buyers are in a hurry, they do not know exactly what they want, and every basket is an opportunity for one more thoughtful addition. This demo shows how a Solidus build turns that into revenue without ever feeling pushy.
What this store shows off
Checkout cross sell
Related items appear right where the decision happens: in the cart and at checkout, quick add with one tap, chosen by real product relationships rather than random plugins.
Newsletter vouchers built in
Discount codes issued through the newsletter run on native Solidus promotions: single use, tied to a person, expiry dates, all rules enforced by the shop itself.
Branded transactional email
Order confirmations and shipping notices carry the shop brand, not a generic template. Small touch, outsized trust.
Stripe payments done properly
Cards, wallets and strong customer authentication with webhooks wired so the shop always knows the true payment state.
Gifting flows
Messages, addresses that differ from the buyer, and hamper contents presented so the sender looks good to the recipient.
Lead capture with consent
Every newsletter signup lands in a consent ledger with double opt-in, GDPR evidence included, connected to the client portal.
What this proves for your shop
- How average order value grows with cross sell that respects the customer
- How promotions, vouchers and email run natively instead of via plugin roulette
- How a small shop looks and feels like a big brand from day one
