Petite Sweet Shop
A Shopify store for a Utah bakery selling hand-pressed pizzelles and cookies in keepsake boxes, with a build-your-own-box flow and a personal message printed in gold on the lid.

The brief
Build a Shopify store for a Utah bakery where the product is a personalised gift: a customer chooses a box, fills it with treats and has a message printed on the lid.
The problem
A personalised box does not fit the standard pattern of one product page and one add-to-cart button. The customer makes several connected choices, the price changes with each, and the message has to be captured accurately. The same site also has to serve a corporate buyer ordering many boxes rather than one.
What was built
- Shopify ecommerce storefront
- Build-your-box flow for boxes of 4, 8 or 12
- Personal message in gold on every lid
- Dedicated corporate gifting path
Technologies used
- Shopify
Technical challenges
Turning a multi-part gift into a single guided flow
The build-a-box section takes the customer through box size, holding four, eight or twelve treats, then the contents, each with its own price, then the lid. Box capacity and treat pricing are presented together, so the customer can see what a choice adds as they make it.
Capturing the lid message without errors
Customers pick a preset saying at no extra charge or pay a small fee for their own words, limited to 24 characters, and choose from a set of typefaces. Keeping the custom text short and the options defined protects what is printed in gold on a finished box.
Giving corporate buyers their own path
Team and client gifting has its own navigation entry and section, with a direct route to plan an order and stated lead time for larger quantities. A corporate buyer reaches a person instead of being pushed through a single-box flow built for individual gifts.
Outcome
A live Shopify store with a guided build-your-box flow, personalised lid messages, shipping and local pickup information, allergen guidance, and a separate route for corporate gift orders.
