CANDLY
A store that helps you find a scent you can’t smell through a screen.
PROJECT STUDYFive questions.
Your scent.
02 / OVERVIEW
Candles that look like desserts.
An online store on Shopify for Candly, handmade soy candles from Athens that look like desserts. Beyond setting up the store, we designed and built our own sections for it, including a scent quiz that suggests products to each visitor.
03 / THE CHALLENGE
You can’t smell a candle through a screen.
With scented candles, the customer cannot smell the product through a screen. Candly needed a store that carries the playful character of the brand and helps visitors find a scent they will like, without looking like an off-the-shelf theme.
04 / OUR SOLUTION
Custom sections and a scent quiz, built into the theme.
We built the store on Shopify with our own sections: homepage, collections, a product page with the scent notes, and a slide-out cart with a free-shipping bar and BOX NOW locker pickup, in Greek and English. The scent quiz is part of the theme: five questions score six scent families, and the result shows the visitor’s profile with the products that match it, ready to go into the cart.
