About Clinikally

Clinikally is India’s #1 teledermatology platform. Patients book doctor-led consultations and fill prescriptions alongside a catalogue of more than 10,000 dermatology SKUs — a catalogue where some products are category-gated and can only be sold against a valid prescription. The business serves customers across India and the wider APAC region.

The brief

The challenge, and how we approached it

01

The challenge

Clinikally needed a commerce platform that could handle 10,000+ dermatology SKUs, integrate with a doctor-consultation flow, manage prescription cart logic, and scale across India's wide consumer base. Their existing system couldn't handle the complexity of category-gated products (some SKUs require prescriptions), and conversion was bleeding at every step of the consultation-to-purchase flow.

02

Our approach

We architected a custom Shopify Plus build with metafield-driven category gating, a custom checkout extension for prescription verification, and a B2B-like account model for returning patients with stored prescriptions. We ran a 6-week discovery to map the entire patient journey before writing code.

What we built

Six capabilities shipped for Clinikally

Each one solves a specific part of the brief above.

Custom Plus theme

Built on Online Store 2.0 with metafield-driven prescription gating

Doctor consultation flow

Integrated with their telemedicine backend via a custom Shopify app

Prescription cart logic

Custom Shopify Functions enforce prescription rules at checkout

10K+ SKU performance

Algolia-powered search and faceted PLP filters tuned for sub-2s loads

B2B-like accounts

Returning patients get stored prescriptions and one-tap reorder

Multi-region readiness

Shopify Markets setup with India-specific tax and shipping logic

How it ran

16 weeks, 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 Clinikally landed

Six months after launch, Clinikally has tripled their daily order volume, lifted checkout conversion by 41%, and now serves over 2.3× the repeat order rate of their previous platform. They've stayed on retainer with us for ongoing optimization and B2B/clinic expansion.

Tetralogicx didn't just build us a store — they rebuilt how patients experience our platform. The checkout rate alone covered our investment in the first quarter.
