Woodfox Coffee Gets a Shop (in Preview)

Renamed to Woodfox Coffee and added a shop, product pages, a cart and subscribe-and-save, all clearly marked as preview until real products and payments are ready.

Two changes to the Woodfox site today.

The name. Woodfox Roasters is now Woodfox Coffee across the site.

A shop, honestly labeled. The first coffees aren’t roasted yet, but the shop is built so it’s ready when they are:

  • Filterable shop page and product pages with size, grind, and one-time or subscribe-and-save (15%)
  • Placeholder bag artwork drawn in code, so the layout works before product photography exists
  • A cart stored in the visitor’s browser: no accounts, no database, no server
  • A checkout page that hands off to a hosted payment page through a configurable endpoint

A preview notice sits on every shop page: products are placeholders and checkout isn’t taking payments. When real coffees exist, payments will go through a small serverless function, so the secret key never lives in the website.
