Selling research compounds online is a harder technical brief than most ecommerce: the claims you can make are restricted, the ad platforms mostly will not take your money, and payment processors review you more closely than they review a clothing store. The site has to carry more of the load.
An RUO notice in the footer does not undo a product page written like a supplement ad. The framing has to run through titles, descriptions, categories and imagery — which is exactly the kind of thing that is cheap to build in and expensive to retrofit across a catalogue.
This buyer checks purity before price. COAs need to be attached per batch, dated, and reachable from the product page in one click — not buried in a single PDF page listing everything you have ever tested.
Mainstream processors regularly classify this category as prohibited or high-risk, and accounts get closed with little warning. The store should be built so a gateway can be swapped without touching the catalogue, and ideally with a fallback method already configured.
Google and Meta both restrict this category heavily. That is unwelcome news, and it is also the argument for spending the budget on organic search, email and content instead — which changes how the site should be built.
Most catalogues are the same compound at several strengths, plus bundles and bacteriostatic water. Modelling that as variations rather than separate products keeps the catalogue navigable and stops five near-identical pages competing in search.
Depending on where you ship, you may need an age confirmation, a jurisdiction check, or both. Built well they cost you almost nothing in conversion; bolted on badly they block search engines and lose sales.

No, and be wary of anyone who says otherwise. We build to research-use-only conventions and we will flag copy that reads as a human-use claim, but compliance depends on your products, your jurisdiction and your own legal advice. We are your web team, not your regulatory counsel.
Often not, and that is the single most common thing that derails these projects. Sort the payment question before the build finishes, not after. We will build the store so the gateway is swappable and, where you want one, add a properly-built manual payment method as a fallback.
We build the system and show your team how to run it. The aim is that adding a new batch COA is a file upload against the right variation, with the date and lot number, and the product page updates itself.
Yes. Products, customers and order history can usually come across. The part that needs care is URL mapping — a migration that changes every product URL without redirects will cost you the organic traffic you already have.
Organic search and email, mostly, which is why the build puts real weight on category structure, product schema and content. It is slower than paid and it compounds, and for this category it is usually the only door that stays open.
Thirty minutes, your time zone. We will tell you honestly whether a rebuild is the right spend or whether fixing three things on the current site would do more.
