At Innovate, we act as your Shopify partner. Using The Scale Path™, we help online businesses move from $500K to $1M+ with stores designed for conversions, loyalty, and scale.
What am I missing?
Why Growth Stalls
You’ve grown past $500K. Demand is proven, but growth feels stuck. Traffic is coming in, yet too many shoppers drop off. You’ve tried subscriptions, bundles, upsells, recovery flows but nothing feels consistent or strategic.
What you need isn’t another app or patch. It’s a partner who understands food & beverage and a proven path to break through the plateau.
Scale past $1M+ with confidence and clarity.
The Next Level
Imagine a store that compounds as hard as you do. With the right playbook, revenue becomes steady and forecastable, subscriptions and bundles stack seamlessly, and upsells convert naturally. Customers glide from discovery to checkout, loyalty strengthens, and your store feels as premium as your product.
With Innovate as your partner, you’re no longer testing half-done fixes. You have proven strategies, a clear path forward, and a trusted team at your side — building a business that compounds growth month after month.

What size brands do you work with?
We specialise in established e-commerce brands with annual revenue of $500k—$1m+ NZD. If you’ve proven product-market fit and are hitting growth plateaus, we’re the right fit. However, if you are a start-up or looking to generate $1m+ in revenue, we are still keen to talk.
How is this different from just buying a premium Shopify theme?
Themes are built for everyone, which means they’re optimised for no one. Our custom builds are engineered specifically for your brand’s conversion flow, speed requirements, and scaling goals. Whilst a $500 theme might look decent, it won’t fix the conversion leaks costing you thousands in lost sales every month.
We already have a Shopify store. Do we need a complete rebuild?
Not always, but usually. Most $500k+ brands have outgrown their original setup. We’ll assess during your free Scale Audit whether optimisation can work or if a strategic rebuild will unlock more growth. Sometimes a rebuild is actually faster and more cost-effective than endless patches.
How long does a typical project take?
Most projects run 8-12 weeks from kickoff to launch. We’ve refined our Scale-Ready Framework™ to move quickly without cutting corners. Your store stays live during development, so there’s zero downtime to your business.
What's included in the investment?
Our projects start at $8,500 and typically range $12,500–$25,000, depending on complexity. This includes everything: growth audit, custom design, development, speed optimisation, conversion setup, testing, launch support, and training. No hidden fees, no surprise upsells. You work directly with senior experts, not juniors learning on your dime.
How do I know this will actually improve conversions?
We start every project with a detailed Scale Audit that identifies exactly where you’re losing money. Our Framework isn’t theoretical – it’s based on proven CRO principles and dozens of builds.
Do you handle ongoing support after launch?
Yes. Whilst the initial project gets your store to peak performance, we offer ongoing partnership options for continuous optimisation, seasonal updates, and growth support. Many clients keep us on retainer because we already know their business inside out.
We've been burnt by agencies before. Why should we trust you?
We get it. That’s why we do things differently: no account managers or middlemen. You work directly with senior experts. Our process is transparent with clear milestones. We show our portfolio upfront. Our free Scale Audit lets you experience our expertise before committing a dollar.
What if we're not ready for a full project right now?
Start with the free Scale Audit. You’ll walk away with a Custom Performance Scorecard showing exactly what’s broken and how to fix it. It will include actionable insights you can implement yourself or save for when you’re ready. No pressure, just value upfront.
