About the Project
What began as a post-recession side hustle has grown into one of the fastest-rising digital garden stores in the U.S. Pixies Garden, inspired by their dog "Pixie," needed a scalable, user-friendly online platform that could support year-round plant sales and streamline inventory for seasonal demand. Commerce Pundit migrated them to Shopify 2.0, integrated with Amazon and Walmart, and implemented advanced tools to optimize pre-orders, search functionality, and personalized shopping experiences — all driving measurable business results.

"Scalable Growth Tools for a Flourishing Garden Brand"
Modernized Shopify Architecture
Commerce Pundit migrated Pixies Garden to Shopify 2.0, introducing faster loading, improved mobile UX, and enhanced customization. This laid the foundation for a scalable eCommerce storefront ready to meet future growth demands without compromising speed or usability.
Smart Seasonal Selling Tools
To meet seasonal spikes and reduce stockout issues, a pre-order and reserve-now system was implemented. Customers could plan ahead, and Pixies Garden could manage inventory more effectively, improving customer satisfaction and capturing additional revenue otherwise lost during high-demand months.
Streamlined Inventory & Delivery
A tailored solution was created to update stock and manage delivery preferences in real-time. This ensured accurate product availability and flexible delivery timelines, empowering customers to shop with clarity and confidence — while reducing fulfillment errors.
Marketplace Expansion
Commerce Pundit integrated Amazon and Walmart marketplaces directly into the Shopify backend. Automated listings and real-time sync features minimized operational overhead while expanding product exposure to new customer segments across leading eCommerce platforms..
Email & On-Site Optimization
Using Klaviyo and Searchanise, Commerce Pundit personalized the shopping experience at every touchpoint. Campaigns re-engaged lapsed users, while advanced search functionality made browsing simpler — collectively boosting click-through and conversion rates.
