How Provis built the original WooCommerce store for Snuscorp.

Snuscorp sells snus and other nicotine products online to adults. Provis built its original WooCommerce store, and maintained and upgraded it. The brand has since moved to another platform, so this is past work.

The situation

An online store for an age-restricted product.

Snuscorp sells snus, chewing tobacco and nicotine pouches online. These are age-restricted products, and the brand sells them to adult buyers.

Provis built the original WooCommerce store for Snuscorp, then maintained and upgraded it. The brand has since moved to another platform, and the store you see at snuscorp.com today is not Provis's build.

How an age-restricted store usually takes an order

  1. Visitorarrives and browses products
  2. Age checka step that must be clear and reliable
  3. Checkoutpayment and delivery rules differ by country
  4. Ordera clear order reaches the seller

A typical flow for stores like this, not a record of this client.

Common problems, and how Provis fixes them

What usually slows an age-restricted store down

Problems Provis often sees in projects like this, and how it fixes them.

  1. Age checks are missed

    Stores that sell to adults only must make the check clear.

    How Provis fixes itA clear age step

    The store asks for the age confirmation before browsing or buying.

  2. Payment and shipping rules differ

    Some payment providers and carriers limit what they will handle.

    How Provis fixes itSet-up that fits the rules

    Payment and shipping options are chosen to suit the products and the country.

  3. An old store falls behind

    Without updates, a WooCommerce store gets slow and unsafe.

    How Provis fixes itMaintenance and upgrades

    Regular updates keep the store fast and safe.

How the work ran

A store like this runs in four steps.

  1. Discovery and auditWe learn the business, look at what exists and agree what to build or fix
  2. Build or fixWe do the work in small steps and show progress as it goes
  3. Test and launchWe test on real phones and browsers, then go live with a rollback plan
  4. SupportAfter launch, 24/7 monitoring and support keeps it running
  • Store build: WordPress and WooCommerce, set up for the products and the country.

  • Rules: age checks, payment and shipping options that fit.

  • Upkeep: updates and upgrades after launch.

Store build:

Built to be kept up.

A store is never finished. We build it so that updates and upgrades are easy later.

Updates are tested before they go live.

The store is built to grow.
