Asylum Coffee
Specialty coffee roastery in Swindon — bespoke e-commerce platform with subscriptions, integrated shipping and Stripe-only transaction fees.
The challenge
Asylum needed to modernise their online shop — a site that could rank, convert and encourage repeat orders — without handing a cut of every sale to an e-commerce platform on top of card fees.
Our approach
A fully bespoke e-commerce platform built around SEO and conversions: custom product management, a discounts engine, and subscriptions front and centre to turn one-off buyers into regulars. Payments run on Stripe alone, so the only per-transaction cost is the card fee. A third-party shipping integration lets the team select, pay for and print a label per order — every parcel goes from order to out-the-door from the site's own dashboard.
The results
The lowest realistic e-commerce rates — just the Stripe fee, no platform cut — saving money on every order compared with the client's previous setup, and a fulfilment workflow that lives entirely in one dashboard.
