Pet Boutique
Daisy's Paws: A WhatsApp-First E-Commerce Storefront
What Daisy's Paws Does
Daisy's Paws is a boutique e-commerce storefront selling premium dog clothing, harnesses, collars and accessories, based in Greater Manchester. It's a small, product-photography-led catalog rather than a mass-market pet supply store.
The Tech Stack
The site is a React single-page application built with Vite and React Router, with product and cart data powered by Shopify's Storefront API the same headless commerce pattern used across the company's other Shopify-backed builds. An on-site product search helps visitors find specific items quickly rather than relying purely on category browsing.
How It Was Built
What's distinctive here is the checkout experience: alongside the standard cart, a customer can complete their order through a guided WhatsApp conversation, giving the boutique's owner a chance to confirm sizing or stock details directly before the sale is finalized. It's a deliberate, personal touch well suited to a small boutique where that kind of confirmation adds real value for the customer.
Outcome
For a boutique-scale catalog, pairing Shopify's product and inventory tooling with a friendly WhatsApp confirmation step keeps the technical footprint lean while matching how a lot of small sellers already prefer to close a sale in conversation, not through a faceless form.
