Integrations

As part of the website build project, Overdose. integrated Kings Seeds' Shopify platform with various key business systems and marketing tools. These integrations were crucial for synchronising data, from order management and inventory synchronisation to customer engagement and support, significantly enhancing efficiency and improving the overall user experience.

To boost customer loyalty, we integrated our partner solution, Yotpo Loyalty, creating a robust rewards program. This integration allowed Kings Seeds to manage loyalty points and rewards efficiently, increasing customer engagement and retention.

The integration of eShip (powered by Starshipit) streamlined the shipping process with automatic rate calculations, real-time tracking updates, and simplified label printing. This made order fulfilment more efficient and accurate.

Enhancing email marketing capabilities, our valued partners, Klaviyo, integrated to facilitate targeted campaigns, automated workflows, and personalised communications. This helped drive higher engagement and conversions.

Cin7 was integrated for inventory and order management, ensuring real-time synchronisation of inventory levels and order data. This minimised stock discrepancies and improved order accuracy and fulfilment efficiency.

Finally, integrating Re-Amaze for live chat improved customer support by providing real-time assistance and handling inquiries promptly, enhancing overall customer satisfaction.

Challenges  
+ Solutions

Challenge 01

Crafting Flexible Data Feeds for Enhanced Shopping Campaigns

Kings Seeds needed a solution to selectively exclude product variants from their campaigns, ensuring only relevant products were highlighted across their paid search initiatives.

‍

SOLUTION

We leveraged Data Feed Watch to develop tailored data feeds that distinguished B2B product variants from B2C products. This approach enhanced the user experience and allowed us to deliver personalised feeds, particularly for new product launches and special collections.

Challenge 02

Designing for Product Education

The process of growing seeds requires significant product knowledge. Kings Seeds approached us with the need to make this information easily accessible to users, regardless of the season.

‍

SOLUTION

Our team utilised Shopify's metafields to create custom fields on the product detail pages (PDPs)

showcasing essential seed information such as botanical names, sowing times, seasons, and growing conditions. These fields were seamlessly integrated across the site, including filters, on-site search, and collection pages.

‍

Challenge 03

Streamlining Checkout for B2B and Returning Customers

Kings Seeds sought a more efficient checkout process for returning users, aiming to minimise friction and prioritise speed.

SOLUTION

We implemented a "quick checkout" feature that allows users to search for products by SKU (if known) and proceed directly to checkout. This straightforward solution caters to those who know exactly what they need, simplifying the purchasing process.

‍

Challenge 04

Expanding Social Media Reach on a Budget

Kings Seeds wanted to extend their paid social media presence within a limited budget, supporting a comprehensive funnel strategy.

SOLUTION

We repurposed Kings Seeds' organic reels for paid awareness campaigns on Meta, which improved both paid and organic performance. This strategy generated 312,000 impressions over three months. Additionally, we implemented dynamic ads driven by a custom feed via Data Feed Watch, optimizing the user experience and driving 796 conversions between May and July.
