- Project Overview
The Store We Built
Aquarius Research Labs is a Canadian research peptide supplier built around a small, high-demand catalogue, led by Retatrutide and Tirzepatide, alongside HGH kits and peptide blends such as CJC-1295 with Ipamorelin. The brand is positioned on precision and reproducibility, with every batch tied to third-party COA verification and framed for buyers affiliated with academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies, or licensed research facilities.
Because the store was built specifically for the Canadian market, pricing, shipping thresholds, and promotional messaging were tailored to CAD rather than adapted from a US-focused template. The build also needed to accommodate two distinct buying behaviours: researchers adding individual vials to a wishlist for later purchase, and labs or facilities placing larger recurring orders with a focus on reliable supply and consistency.
To support informed purchasing, the site also includes a Dosage Calculator and a dedicated Lab Reports and COA library, giving researchers access to useful product information and documentation before checkout.

- The Challenges
Three Problems That Had to Be Solved Before Launch
Building for the Canadian Research Market Specifically
Aquarius Research Labs needed a store built around Canadian buyers from the ground up, CAD pricing, a Canada-relevant free shipping threshold, and age-gated access language suited to the Canadian research audience, rather than a US-market template with the currency swapped after the fact.
Supporting Bulk and Recurring Research Orders
Beyond single vial purchases, the store needed to reassure labs and facilities placing larger or recurring orders that supply would stay consistent and quality would hold across batches, without adding a separate wholesale portal or disrupting the standard checkout flow.
Giving Researchers Tools to Decide, Not Just Buy
Between comparing compounds, saving items for later, and working out reconstitution amounts, researchers needed more than a product grid. The store needed a working Dosage Calculator and a Wishlist system that fit naturally into the WooCommerce experience.

- What Tech Hikers Built
Every Layer Built Before the Store Went Live
Platform and Hosting
WordPress with WooCommerce on managed hosting, with a 21 plus age verification gate required before any product page, price, or category becomes visible, and CAD-based pricing and shipping thresholds set for the Canadian market.
Bulk and Scale Ordering Messaging
A dedicated Scale Your Orders section addressing labs and facilities directly, covering flexible quantity options, bulk pricing, and consistent supply, positioned to reassure larger buyers without requiring a separate ordering system.
Compliance Architecture
Full age-gated access, research use only disclaimers, and terms and conditions positioned throughout the store, with buyer acknowledgement limited to those affiliated with academic, pharmaceutical, or licensed research settings.
Ongoing Support & Updates
Built on WordPress with WooCommerce, running on managed hosting for reliability and security. A 21+ age verification gate sits in front of the entire store no product page, pricing, or category listing becomes visible until age is confirmed, ensuring compliance.
Dosage Calculator Tool
A working Dosage Calculator linked from the main navigation, giving researchers a direct reference for reconstitution volumes alongside the written step-by-step guidance already on the site.
Wishlist and Lab Reports Library
A wishlist system letting researchers save products for later, alongside a dedicated Lab Reports and COA page giving direct access to third-party testing documentation by product.
