BioSnactive - Producer of Code Red

What if chocolate could actually help you on your period? That’s the idea that turned a student project into Canada’s first functional chocolate for menstrual pain: Code Red by BioSnactive. The nutrient-dense chocolate is Fairtrade certified and packaged in a compostable pouch, created by a female founder.

Challenge

BioSnactive set up a Shopify site to sell its Code Red product, and wanted to include a subscription service. In addition, they wanted to have different plans, so clients can order a 1, 3 or 6 month supply.

Solution

Northern Village investigated a number of Shopify subscription services before recommending Appstle, which provides the required features the client was looking for at an affordable price. We implemented the different products within a Collection, with an option to purchase one-time or as a subscription.
