Zyvara Life at a glance: results after launch

We designed and built Zyvara Life’s research peptide store on WordPress and WooCommerce. Researchers confirm who they are before they see the catalogue, shop by research pathway, and open the certificate for their exact lot before they order.

The challengeWhat we built
The challengeOnly verified researchers may buyResearch peptides can only be sold for lab research, so the shop had to check who is visiting before showing any products.
What we builtAn entry gateVisitors confirm their age and research use before the shop opens. Returning researchers go straight in for 30 days.
The challengeProof that every batch is genuineBuyers want the lab report for the exact vial they receive, without emailing anyone to ask for it.
What we builtA searchable certificate librarySearch any product or batch number and open its lab report on the page. Every product links to its own report.
The challenge27 products, hard to browseResearchers look for products by what they study, not by compound name.
What we built7 research categories and quick searchShop by research area, or find any product from the header in one click. Product pages list only facts a buyer can check.

The brief: selling research peptides under research use only rules

Research peptides can only be sold as laboratory reference material. That one rule shaped every page of the store, and it left us three problems to solve before launch.

01

Verify the buyer before the catalogue

Buyers had to say who they are before they could see any products.

02

Facts only, never promises

Product pages could only state facts that can be checked.

03

A certificate for every lot, without emailing anyone

Each vial needed a certificate of analysis for its own lot, and the researcher had to be able to find it.

The catalogue also held 27 compounds and blends, and researchers look for them by what they study rather than by compound name.

How we solved it: gate, spec sheets and COA library

The three problems from the brief, and what we built for each one. Everything below is live on zyvaralife.com today.

A researcher gate before the catalogue

Every first visit opens a gate. The shop stays closed until the visitor picks their research setting and ticks three confirmations.

  • Researcher type chosen from a list
  • Age of 21 or over confirmed
  • Laboratory research use only accepted, not for human or veterinary use
  • Terms of Service and Privacy Policy accepted, with a Leave site exit
  • Remembered for 30 days, so returning researchers go straight in
  • The same declarations come back at checkout, before payment

Product pages written as specification sheets

Every line on a product page is a fact a researcher can check against the certificate. Select a marker to see what each part of the page does.

  • Classification: Synthetic GHRH(1-29) analogue
  • Identifiers: CAS number, formula and molecular weight
  • Purity: HPLC specification, identity by mass spectrometry
  • Form: Lyophilised powder, certificate per batch
  • Handling: Research handling and storage guidance

  • Lot certificate linkThe Certificates of Analysis block names the current lot and its date, and links the certificate for that batch.
  • ClassificationThe specification opens with the classification of the compound, a synthetic GHRH(1-29) analogue.
  • Purity specification fieldA purity field states the HPLC specification and identity by mass spectrometry, written as a specification for the batch.
  • IdentifiersThe description table repeats the identifiers in a fixed order: CAS number, chemical formula, molecular weight, storage and shelf life.


A searchable COA library, one click from any page

Every certificate sits in one library. A researcher finds the report for the exact lot in their hands and opens it without leaving the page.

  • Search by compound name or lot number
  • Dated lot rows with a marker on the current lot
  • Each product page links the certificate for its own lot
  • PDFs open in an inline viewer, with a direct link for devices that cannot preview
  • A clear notice for products still in testing

Custom development on WordPress and WooCommerce

Eight features we coded for this store, and 20 CSS snippets that restyle WordPress and WooCommerce to match the design.

Coded features

Built for this store

Custom code written for this store on top of WordPress and WooCommerce.

  • Researcher gate, COA search and certificate viewer
    Custom JavaScript. The three features shown in How we solved it, above.
  • Research account offer
    Custom JavaScript, AJAX sign up. Opens a few seconds after the gate, creates the account without a reload, reveals a 10% first order code and stays closed for a year once dismissed. Guest checkout stays.
  • Volume pricing panel
    Custom JavaScript on the Tiered Pricing plugin. Clickable tier rows, a progress bar to the next discount and a live unit price and total: 10% off 4 to 5 units, 16% off 6 to 9, 25% off 10 or more.
  • Card payment first
    Custom JavaScript on the PRISM checkout. Card payment opens straight away on the checkout.
  • US phone formatting
    Custom JavaScript on the PRISM checkout. US phone numbers format themselves as they are typed.
  • Header search
    Custom JavaScript. Opens from the header in one click with a wider results panel, so any compound is one search away.
  • Plugins we set up
    Configured, not coded: Omnisend for email, Chatway for live chat, GTranslate for translation, Contact Form 7 and Google Site Kit.

Styled with CSS

Matched to the design

Where WordPress and WooCommerce pages were restyled to look like the rest of the store.

  • Product page
    Custom CSS on WooCommerce. Vial size swatches, the old price crossed out with the discount in gold, a full width black Add to Cart and one clean product image.
  • Cart and mini cart
    Custom CSS on WooCommerce. A cross-sell block with product cards, a mini cart drawer with a pinned footer and a loading pulse while an item is added.
  • Homepage and shop
    Custom CSS on WordPress. Category cards with a gold bar on hover, a dark products section, a gold glow behind product images and an FAQ accordion.
  • Checkout
    Custom CSS on the PRISM checkout. Toggle switches the theme cannot restyle, a gold track when on, and clear feedback on an incomplete phone number.
  • Affiliate area
    AffiliateWP, restyled with custom CSS. Registration, login and a referral dashboard with a link generator and a notice on how affiliates may describe the products.
  • Policies hub
    Custom CSS. Every policy on one page with a sticky contents list, linked from every footer.

Questions about the Zyvara build

Who built the Zyvara Life website?

Zyvara Life was designed and built from the ground up by Aventus Digital. We handled the full WooCommerce build, including the catalogue structure, product content, researcher gate, checkout, shipping integration and on-page SEO. Zyvara is one of 50+ research peptide stores our team has delivered. See more of our peptide website work.

How long did the Zyvara build take?

21 days, from kickoff to a live store. Most of our builds take around 14 days from the approved design mockup, and larger custom builds like Zyvara, with a researcher gate and a certificate library, are planned at about 21 days. You see the design mockup first and can change it before the build starts.

How much does a peptide store like this cost?

Our e-commerce stores start from £399, with a mid-tier option at £599. A full custom build like Zyvara, with a researcher gate, a searchable COA library, a multi-category catalogue and custom checkout work, falls into our Flagship tier from £1,999. Full details are on our pricing page.

How does the researcher gate work?

On a first visit, the shop stays closed until the visitor picks their research setting, confirms they are 21 or over, and accepts research use only and the store's terms. The answers are remembered for 30 days, so returning researchers go straight in, and the same confirmations appear again at checkout before payment.

How do customers find the lab report for their batch?

Every certificate of analysis sits in one library. A researcher searches by product name or batch number and opens the report on the page, without emailing anyone. Each product page also links straight to the report for its current batch.

Which payment methods does the store accept?

Zyvara takes card payments through a processor that accepts research peptide sellers, with the card form opening straight away at checkout. Mainstream processors such as Stripe, PayPal and Square do not accept this category. Our processor comparison covers the options in the US and the UK.

Can customers get a discount for buying more?

Yes. The product page shows a volume pricing panel: 10% off 4 to 5 units, 16% off 6 to 9, and 25% off 10 or more. A progress bar shows how close the buyer is to the next discount, with the price per unit and the total updating as they change the quantity.

What support do you give after launch?

Every build includes 30 days of free support after launch. After that, our website maintenance plans start from £49 a month and cover updates, backups, security and priority fixes.

Does Aventus provide legal or regulatory compliance advice?

No. We are a web agency, not a law firm. We build compliance-aware architecture, such as Research Use Only messaging, age and researcher gates, careful product language and checkout acknowledgements, based on years of working in this niche. Final responsibility for regulatory compliance sits with the store owner, and we always recommend getting independent legal advice for your market.

Can you build a store like this for the UK market?

Yes. Zyvara is built for the US, but we are a UK agency and adapt every build to its market. For UK stores, that means product language shaped around MHRA and ASA/CAP rules rather than FDA wording, plus guidance on payment processors that accept research peptide sellers.
