The brief
ASPN Labs runs a concierge health service in the US, sold as programs and memberships: at-home diagnostics, hormone and peptide therapy, supplements. Products like these cannot be sold like ordinary goods. Peptides count as a high-risk category for card payments, and some therapies may only be sold after an age and identity check or a prescription. The store had to take payment and run those checks inside the purchase flow.
What we built and why
-
Payment through PayCreate
Card payments for these products need a processor that accepts them, so we built the storefront around PayCreate, which works with regulated health products. The storefront was Shopify throughout, and PayCreate took only the payment step.
-
The identity check on the way to checkout
Where a therapy needed an age and identity check, we made the check a step on the way to checkout, before payment.
-
A prescription before the purchase
For products that need a prescription, we built a route of its own. The buyer uploaded the prescription, it was checked and confirmed, and only then did the purchase open.
-
A path for each program
The store sold nine programs, and we gave each its own path from its page to checkout.
