Sample-to-purchase flow with credit attribution. $4.99 sample → tracked → conversion attributed.
A $4.99 sample fee is not a deterrent — it is a filter. The Sample System tracks each sample request through to purchase, attributes the conversion, and credits the sample cost against the final order. Brands using this see sample-to-purchase rates of 18–34% for high-AOV products.
5 stages from first touch to closed loop. The system runs this path autonomously; the operator only sees the result at the end.
tone and tile brands hemorrhage sample budgets because there is no native Shopify mechanism to track a $4.99 sample order to a $14,000 paver project 60 days later. The Sample System closes that loop — every sample becomes a trackable touchpoint, and the credit attribution removes the customer's perception of paying twice.
The stack is on the bench, the wiring is documented, and the instance you ship with is yours to extend after handover.
Built on Shopify Flow (sample order trigger → tagged order → 30-day attribution window), custom metafield schema for tracking, and a Hydrogen storefront component that surfaces the credit at checkout. Webhook bridge via n8n for the attribution event.
