01 — Why this, here

Anaheim sells the experience, then the merch.

Anaheim is a tourism and entertainment town of three hundred and forty-five thousand, and a lot of its retail hangs off an experience. A family-entertainment operator near the Resort District selling branded gear to guests who just spent the day there. A Platinum Triangle sports brand moving jerseys, caps, and game-day merch. An Anaheim Hills hospitality business with a small line of provisions tied to the room. The product is a souvenir of something the customer already paid to feel.

Run that on Shopify and the souvenir gets generic. The merch that should feel like an extension of the day lands in the same cart drawer as every other DTC store, and the platform's stock layout reads nothing like the experience that sold it. For a brand whose merch only works because it carries the feeling of the venue, a rented theme is exactly the wrong surface.

Stripe-direct keeps the experience attached to the product. Stripe processes the card; everything the guest sees — layout, photography, cart, checkout, the receipt email — is written from scratch to match the venue's identity. You pay the processing fee and no monthly rent on top. For a high-volume tourism operator, even a small platform percentage across a busy season is real money that stays in the account instead.

02 — What we build

The whole shop, written from scratch.

  • Custom storefront on your domain — catalog, inventory, cart, and a checkout flow written to match the brand instead of a theme drawer.
  • Stripe wired in directly — payments land in your account from day one. No Stripe Connect markup, no platform layer taking a slice on top of processing.
  • Transactional email through Resend — confirmation, shipping update, receipt — written in your voice, sent from your domain, signed by you.
  • Up to roughly thirty SKUs at this tier. A brewery with twelve current cans plus glassware fits. A biotech merch run with fifteen pieces fits. Larger catalogs we quote separately.
  • Product schema and entity markup so Google and the AI engines can read the catalog properly — important when a customer asks ChatGPT for a recommendation.
  • No theme to migrate, no app store to rent from, no platform breakage when somebody pushes a release on the other side of the country.

From $5,500 · ~3 weeks · Owner-operated.

03 — What this looks like

Three Anaheim shops, three shapes of the same build.

A Resort District family-entertainment operator. Twenty-five SKUs — tees, plush, a souvenir cup, a photo print. The store carries the venue's look so the merch feels like part of the visit, not an afterthought. Stripe takes the card; inventory tracks the busy-season run accurately; local pickup at the gate is a checkout option alongside shipping. The confirmation email matches the brand a guest just spent the day inside.

A Platinum Triangle sports brand. Game-day merch — jerseys, caps, scarves, a limited playoff drop. Demand spikes around events, so the build handles a rush without an app subscription metering every transaction. Stripe moves the money, the drop page is built around the event window, and the receipt looks like the team, not a generic checkout.

An Anaheim Hills hospitality business with a provision line. A dozen products tied to the room — coffee, a candle, a gift box. The page carries the property's voice, the checkout is one screen, and product schema is in place so an AI assistant can recommend the line when an Anaheim visitor asks where to buy it.

This works when the catalog is small enough to design around, the brand carries weight, and the operator wants the code in their own account. It does not work for a thousand-variant inventory, a full warehouse system, marketplace seller logins, or a stack of Shopify apps doing twenty jobs. For those, Shopify Plus is the honest answer and we will tell you so before you sign.

Studio HQ is in San Diego, with Anaheim reachable in about two hours. Most of the build runs remote, with an on-site day around the Resort District or Anaheim Hills when a job warrants the trip. The handoff lands on your domain, with your Stripe keys, with the source in a repository you own. One person doing the work. That is the point of the price and the speed.

This page was drafted from a structured brief and hand-reviewed before launch. The work itself is custom, owner-operated, never templated.
