The company will leverage Ordergroove to advance its industry-defining subscriber experience to further extend lifetime value
Ordergroove, the leader in subscription solutions for retailers and direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands, announced today that Dollar Shave Club, the preeminent subscription-first DTC brand, is migrating its subscription technology from a home-grown solution to Ordergroove’s market-leading platform in partnership with Shopify Plus. By partnering with Ordergroove, Dollar Shave Club is making a transformational shift away from building and maintaining out-of-the-box capabilities to creating differentiated subscription experiences through Ordergroove. This shift echoes the same transformation that took place in the 2000s when retailers and DTC brands migrated their homegrown eCommerce software to third-party eCommerce platforms.
Founded in 2011, Dollar Shave Club is the original shave subscription brand and a dominant voice in DTC commerce. The brand has made its name by delivering highly personalized customer experiences that fuel high customer lifetime value. In 2022, Dollar Shave Club recognized that to support their continued growth ambitions and unlock future innovation, they needed to explore new subscription technology. They quickly found that Ordergroove was the only option that could handle their scale and support their aspirations. Dollar Shave Club has chosen to partner with Ordergroove in order to build differentiated experiences on top of Ordergroove’s industry-leading and highly extensible subscription platform.
