A peptide-research brand running on a custom-rebuilt Shopify storefront, a Stagg-built admin SPA, and an end-to-end fulfillment pipeline. We own the build, they own the data.

// the brief
One unified e-commerce operation, three moving parts.

Veltrigen ships research peptides direct to customer. The brand needed three things that don't usually live under one engineering team: a premium storefront that converts, an admin SPA built around their actual fulfillment workflow, and a shipping/email/auth pipeline that doesn't fall apart in production.

A typical SaaS stack — Shopify + Notion + Zapier + 5 apps — got them to v1, but the seams started showing as volume grew. We took the whole pipeline in-house: rewrote the theme, built the admin, wired the integrations, and now run it in production on AWS.

What we built.

// three modules · one platform

M01 · storefront

Shopify theme — rebuilt on Dawn

Full theme rebuild on Dawn v15. Custom sections for hero, featured collections, brand story, UGC carousel, testimonials, FAQ. DM Sans + teal CTA palette (#1c6d6b). Pill buttons, 2px borders, 2rem radius. Shopify-native data — no headless complexity.

Hero, featured products, brand story, testimonials, FAQ, footer — all custom Liquid sections
Product page extended with specs, COA links, disclaimer blocks
Native details/summary accordions — zero theme JS
Klaviyo embed + inline Zelle/Venmo SVGs in footer

M02 · admin SPA

Custom admin — built for fulfillment, not for sales reports

Single-page React admin at admin.veltrigen.com. Replaces Notion + Shopify admin + manual spreadsheets with one operations console: pipeline, orders, reorders, archive, products, inventory, customers, locations, promotions, reviews, taxes, research, USPS, system, settings.

Auth via Authentik (self-hosted OIDC) — staff SSO, no Shopify-admin sprawl
Order pipeline view tuned for the actual packing-line workflow
Shippo integration for label purchase + batch label zip export
Resend integration for order-shipped, reorder, thank-you templates

M03 · production ops

Production pipeline — AWS, Docker, monitoring

Production runs on AWS EC2. Docker Compose orchestrates the admin, the Nginx front-door, Postgres, and Authentik. A full Prometheus + cAdvisor + node-exporter stack collects metrics. Cloudflare in front for DNS + edge.

Mirrored dev environment on the Stagg homelab — same compose, isolated data
Postgres backups + restore scripts in repo, not on a wiki
Resend for transactional email, Klaviyo for marketing — same brand, two channels
Zero dependency on Shopify's first-party processor — Venmo / Zelle / card all routed independently

Veltrigen GHK-Cu 50mg vial — **GHK-Cu** · 50mg

// real product, real photography

Every vial in Veltrigen's catalog is shot, edited, and shipped from the same operation. The storefront, the admin, and the fulfillment pipeline all reference the same product spec — one source of truth.
