The menu.

Three ways in, one launch date. Pretzelized is already on shelves and on Amazon, and the site should sell like it. Every option starts with the same fully custom Shopify build; the second adds the Klaviyo retention system, and the third adds the full subscription lifecycle. All three are built in the same 30 to 45 day window, inside your own accounts, and you own the code, the design files, and the accounts.

01

The Storefront

$12,500

Shopify only. A fully custom site, designed and coded around a brand people already know from the shelf, the full lineup, and the way repeat buyers shop online.

02

Storefront + Email

$17,500

The storefront plus the core Klaviyo retention system: seven flows designed, written, built inside your account, and switched on at launch, so the customers you already have keep coming back.

03

The Full System

$20,000

Everything in the second option, plus the full subscription lifecycle and cancellation save flows, for the buyers who restock every month rather than every visit.

02 / 04
Email & Retention · Core $5,000 · With Subscription $7,500

Email & Retention.

Every flow designed in Figma and implemented directly inside Pretzelized’s Klaviyo account, built for an existing customer base rather than a launch list. Nothing is handed over as a file for someone else to build.

Scope of Work

Welcome Flow: six emails introducing the brand and driving first-order conversion.

Abandoned Cart and Checkout Flows: two sequences of six emails, recovering shoppers who leave without ordering.

Post-Purchase Flow: eight to ten emails covering the first order, product education, and cross-sell.

Winback, browse abandonment, and replenishment flows, bringing back lapsed customers and driving reorders.

Subscription lifecycle flows: upcoming charge, shipment, skip, swap, and failed payment, all styled to the brand.

Custom campaign master template designed for Pretzelized and structured for future campaigns.

Klaviyo implementation, including onsite forms, email capture, and list-growth infrastructure.

Transactional email styling for branded order and shipping communications.

Editable Figma source files for all email creative, provided for continued in-house use.

Cancellation save flow, offering pause, a change of cadence, or a swap before a subscription ends.

Core flows: $5,000. Welcome, abandoned cart and checkout, post-purchase, winback, browse abandonment, and replenishment, plus the campaign template, forms, transactional styling, and Figma files. With the storefront, the project is $17,500.

With subscription: $7,500. Everything in the core system, plus the subscription lifecycle flows and the cancellation save flow, built against your subscription app. With the storefront, the project is $20,000.

03 / 04
Timeline & Terms

Thirty to forty five days.

Kickoff

Agreement signed, payment cleared, and account access granted. Strategy session with the Pretzelized team.

Week 2

A V1 of the Shopify site in your hands for review and approval.

Day 30 to 45

Site and Klaviyo flows live together, after QA and a full launch check.

+30 Days

Post-launch support: technical support, bug fixes, and small additions.

Account access. Pretzelized will provide administrator or collaborator access to the existing Shopify store and administrator access to the Klaviyo account, along with access to the domain and DNS records where required. Everything is built inside Pretzelized’s own accounts, and the timeline begins once access is in place.

Client responsibilities. Pretzelized will provide brand assets, approved photography and video, product information, pricing, policies, and claims. If content is not ready, we build with placeholders and swap in final assets and copy before launch.

Investment and billing. The project fee is $12,500 for the Shopify build on its own, $17,500 with the core Klaviyo retention system, or $20,000 with the subscription lifecycle included. It is due at kickoff, and work commences on payment and receipt of the access reasonably required to begin.

Third-party costs. Shopify fees, paid apps, software licenses, and payment-processing fees sit outside the project fee. They are paid directly by Pretzelized and never marked up by Liquid Lemon.

Experience

A decade of
custom Shopify.

We've been designing and developing custom Shopify sites for about ten years. Every storefront pattern that matters, we've built, shipped, and refined dozens of times.

10+ years
Framework

Proven engine,
zero templates.

Nothing we ship starts from a theme. Over a decade of client builds we engineered our own private Shopify foundation for the unforgiving parts: cart drawers, upsell logic, performance. Only our clients get it, and every storefront is custom-coded on top of it. That's why your budget goes to design and conversion instead of re-solving solved problems.

Zero templates
Design

Built around
your brand.

Because the foundation is already engineered, your budget goes where it matters: the front end. Every page, section, and interaction your customers touch starts from a blank canvas, built in custom code around your brand guide and references, then elevated with our own creative direction.

100% design focus
Email Work

Klaviyo, handled.

We specialize in email design and retention as well. Figma-designed, Klaviyo-built flows and campaigns shipped for CPG and apparel brands.
