Overview

About the Project

FCK'D UP is a premium, compliance-ready nicotine e-commerce website built on WordPress with WooCommerce, delivering a high-trust shopping experience for nicotine buyers. The platform combines regulatory compliance with exceptional user experience in a heavily regulated market.

The Challenge

What We Faced

Building an e-commerce platform for nicotine products requires navigating complex compliance requirements while still delivering an engaging shopping experience. Research revealed that 70% of mobile buyers in the 18-35 age group search based on flavor, puff count, and strength—trust and clarity drive purchase decisions.

Key Challenges

  • Meeting strict nicotine compliance requirements
  • Implementing robust age-gating verification
  • Overcoming WooCommerce variant limitations
  • Reducing mobile checkout drop-offs
  • Working within SEO restrictions for regulated products
  • Balancing performance with compliance features
