01
The situation
A website to showcase products and generate sales
The Magic Dispensary is an online mushroom dispensary based in British Columbia, Canada, selling dried mushrooms, capsules, edibles, teas and cannabis. They wanted a website that would showcase their products, attract customers and generate sales, while reflecting their brand identity, values and mission.
Kashberg worked closely with The Magic Dispensary to understand their needs, goals and preferences, then designed and developed a custom-made website that met all their requirements and expectations.

The brief
A high-risk catalogue that still has to sell like a normal store
Products in this category cannot rely on the standard card processors most stores take for granted, and the range spans many formats, strains and sizes. The store had to make a large catalogue easy to browse and still give customers a clear way to pay.
- Organise the range into clear categories customers can shop directly.
- Sell each product in several sizes, with prices that change by variation.
- Take orders without credit cards, and explain the alternatives at checkout.
- Support repeat customers with accounts and order history.
- Publish educational content alongside the shop.
03
What we built
A WooCommerce store shaped around the catalogue
Kashberg built the store on WordPress and WooCommerce, customised around the brand, the catalogue and how this category has to take payment.
- Six shoppable categories: Dried mushrooms, capsules, edibles, teas, cannabis and an all-products view.
- Variable products with per-size pricing, sale pricing and samplers.
- Featured products and quick view on the homepage, plus site-wide product search.
- Customer accounts with login, order history and cart.
- A checkout without credit cards, with alternative payment methods and instructions for customers new to them.
- Site-wide offers in the header, such as free shipping with no minimum spend.
- A blog, FAQ and About pages that support search visibility and answer buyer questions.
