Social Bar — Floating Social Media Icon Bar for Shopify

A Shopify app that adds a floating social media icon bar to any storefront.

The brief

The challenge, and how we approached it

01

The challenge

Most themes hardwire social links into the footer, where almost nobody scrolls — and adding them anywhere else means editing Liquid. The merchant needs the icons visible without touching theme code, styled to match the brand rather than announcing a third-party widget, and placed where their traffic actually is.

02

Our approach

Make placement the product. The bar can render on twelve page types — including cart and checkout — with both manual and automatic positioning, so a merchant chooses where attention already sits rather than accepting the footer default. Styling is exhaustive by design: colour, size, borders, backgrounds, custom text and animation, plus file upload for merchants who want their own icon set, so the widget inherits the theme instead of clashing with it. Fifty-plus platform icons cover the long tail beyond the big five. Engagement tracking reports whether the bar earns its place. Pricing is scoped to the use case — three icons free forever, which covers most small stores, with $3.99/month only once the store grows past 1,000 visits.

What we built

Six capabilities shipped for Dana's Bakery

Each one solves a specific part of the brief above.

ZIP-gated shipping

Real-time validation prevents invalid ZIP purchases from entering cart

Drop architecture

Pre-staged inventory with countdown, sold-out gates, and waitlist

Gifting flow

Message cards, recipient addressing, scheduled delivery, gift wrap

Perishable inventory

Daily inventory sync with cold-chain capacity constraints

Drop-day performance

Theme architecture handles 20× traffic spikes without latency

Recurring orders

Holiday subscription flow for repeat gifters

How it ran

10 weeks build, in four stages

Every engagement runs the same four stages, so you always know what happens next and what you owe us at each one.

Stage 1

Audit and scope

We review the current theme, apps and analytics, then write a fixed-scope SOW with named deliverables and a date.

Stage 2

Design and build

Work happens in a dev store on a Git-backed workflow. You get a preview link from week one, not a reveal at the end.

Stage 3

QA and launch

Cross-browser and device QA, redirect map, analytics verification, then a launch window agreed with you rather than dropped on you.

Stage 4

Hypercare

Fourteen to sixty days of included post-launch support while real traffic finds the edge cases.

The outcome

Where Dana's Bakery landed

Conversion is up 2.1× after the PDP rebuild, AOV is up 34% year-over-year thanks to gifting upsells, and drop days are now smooth — zero downtime across 12 drops in the past year.

Every drop day was a stress event before. Now they're just a Tuesday. The team built us infrastructure we can actually grow on.
