The launch brief

The storefront was only one part of going live.

Vye needed a public website and dependable systems for taking payment, sending confirmation, helping customers find the product, moving the domain, and keeping email trustworthy.

The website, checkout, and infrastructure had to be ready for the same launch.

One coordinated release

Five workstreams, one launch path.

Each system had its own failure modes, but customers experience them as a single brand. The implementation kept those boundaries clear while the release plan kept them moving together.

Storefront

A storefront that carries Vye’s packaging and branding onto the web.

Checkout

Stripe-backed purchasing shaped around the product, shipping model, and launch requirements.

Email

Resend-powered transactional email for customers and operations.

Find Vye

A Leaflet store-discovery experience that connects the digital brand to its retail footprint.

Infrastructure

Domain migration, DNS, and email records coordinated as one release path.

Customer path

From first impression to a product in hand.

Product story, checkout, transactional communication, and retail discovery were treated as one continuous path rather than disconnected features.

  1. Discover

    Meet the product

  2. Choose

    Understand the offer

  3. Checkout

    Purchase with confidence

  4. Confirm

    Know what happens next

  5. Find

    Connect online and retail

Digital meets retail

A brand growing on shelves needed a useful way to be found.

300+retail locations across New York

The live product supports a growing retail footprint alongside ecommerce. Leaflet gives customers a practical route from brand discovery to a nearby store without making location data feel like a separate application.

  • Store discovery built into the brand experience
  • A retail story that complements direct checkout
  • Location information shaped for mobile use
  • A map ready to grow with distribution

Launch operations

Domain, payment, and email setup were part of the launch.

Domain ownership, DNS, email authentication, payment configuration, and release sequencing were treated as product work. Each piece needed clear verification and a safe handoff because every one of them could affect trust at launch.

The outcome

The storefront and launch systems delivered together.

  • A cleaner storefront ready for customer traffic
  • Stripe-backed checkout flow aligned with the business model
  • Domain, DNS, and mail records organized for reliable launch operations

The website, payments, domain, and email were released together.
