Industry
Food & Beverage (DTC / Shopify)
Challenge
Dozy Oats had a great product and a growing fanbase — but their Shopify store wasn't built to scale. The customer journey was unclear, the cart experience was losing buyers at the final step, and mobile UX was costing them sales every day.
Results
After a full Shopify overhaul with StarkEdge, Dozy Oats saw a significant lift in add-to-cart rates, reduced cart abandonment, and stronger subscription conversions — turning morning oat lovers into loyal, repeat customers.

StarkEdge didn't just build us a better store — they rebuilt our entire customer experience. The cart drawer alone changed everything for us.

About Dozy Oats
Dozy Oats is a premium overnight oats brand founded by Jeff Freedman, built around the idea that a nourishing morning starts the night before. With a loyal community of health-conscious consumers and a warm, wholesome brand identity, Dozy Oats had all the ingredients for DTC success — except a Shopify storefront that matched its ambitions.
Jeff came to StarkEdge with a clear goal: turn a beautiful product into a high-converting online experience without losing the brand's character.
The Challenge
Despite strong word-of-mouth and an engaged customer base, Dozy Oats was seeing visitors drop off before completing a purchase. The existing Shopify theme was generic, the mobile experience felt disjointed, and the cart flow added unnecessary friction at the most critical step of the buying journey.
Jeff needed a Shopify partner who could redesign the experience from the ground up — one who understood both the technical side of Shopify development and the nuance of building a brand people want to buy from repeatedly.
The Solution
StarkEdge began with a full UX audit of the Dozy Oats storefront, identifying the key drop-off points in the customer journey. From there, we rebuilt the Shopify theme with a mobile-first approach, ensuring every product page, collection, and checkout step felt seamless on any device.
A fully custom cart drawer was developed to replace the default Shopify cart — featuring upsell prompts, a clean layout, and a one-click path to checkout. App integrations were added to support subscription purchasing and product bundling, increasing average order value from day one.
Every design decision was made with the Dozy Oats brand in mind: warm tones, approachable typography, and a layout that lets the product do the talking.
The Results
After launch, Dozy Oats saw a 38% lift in add-to-cart rates and a 24% reduction in cart abandonment within the first 60 days. Mobile conversions doubled, and the new subscription-enabled cart experience began driving meaningful repeat purchase revenue — turning first-time buyers into loyal fans of the brand.
Today, the Dozy Oats storefront is a high-performing asset that matches the quality of the product it sells.
