Hey there! I'm curious about how you're processing online orders. Are you packaging in-house? Also, are big-box retailers and/or online retailers on the roadmap?

Hi Owen, great questions! Our website and e-commerce runs on the shopify platform. Our partner, Skybridge Americas, then handles kitting the products in their packaging, and all order fulfillment (direct and wholesale). Skybridge has integrated digital and fulfillment support, which has been great as we can work with them to scale our e-commerce direct to consumer side, and our wholesale side through the same channel. We are in the midst of conversations with a few big box retailers now, who ...
