Home brew shop ecommerce: ingredients, kits & recipes

Home brew shops: every recipe kit packed right. Ingredients, kits and recipes online.

Grain bills written on scraps of paper, hop stock that runs out mid-order and brewers asking for the same recipe again. We build home brew shop systems that turn recipes into kits and keep the regulars brewing.

Looking for home brew shop ecommerce software?

Home brew shops sell by weight, by pack and by recipe. Brewers want their favourite kit again and new brewers want help getting started. We build stores that handle grain by the kilo, recipe kits and repeat orders.

Wollopit builds online stores, product tools, click and collect and integrations for home brew shops around how your shop actually runs. We connect the POS and platforms you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to selling.

What we hear from home brew shops

Does your home brew shop have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Whether you're starting fresh or upgrading what you've got, it's one team from the first sketch to the support call.

Custom software for home brew shops

Websites for home brew shops

Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.

Weight pricing and saved recipes: customer and staff portals that work on any phone without an app store.

06How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your home brew shop: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.

07Questions

FAQ

Things home brew shops ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can brewers save and share their own recipes?

Yes. Brewers can save recipes to their account and reorder them as kits. You can also publish house recipes for others to try.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your home brew shop. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

Do we have to leave Shopify or WooCommerce?

No. Most of the time we build on top of the platform you're on: custom features, integrations and better product tools. If it's genuinely holding you back we'll explain the options first.

Can the shop and the website share stock?

Yes. We sync your POS, website and marketplaces so stock, prices and orders line up without anyone retyping them.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.

We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?

Usually, yes. Most home brew shops we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
