Scaling a DTC food brand with Shopify and measurable ads
Rumah Segar
Merlinbox launched a Shopify store for Rumah Segar, wired payments and shipping, fixed conversion tracking, and took on Meta and Google Ads management — turning a social-only brand into a measurable online sales channel.
Challenge
What stood in the way
Rumah Segar sold successfully through Instagram DMs and marketplaces, but had no owned storefront. Margins were squeezed by platform fees, catalogue data was inconsistent, and ad spend was running without reliable purchase tracking. They needed an official store, clean operations, and campaigns they could scale with confidence.
Solution
What Merlinbox delivered
We built a Shopify storefront with structured product data, local payment and shipping integrations, and a conversion-focused product and collection UX. Meta Pixel, Conversions API, and Google Ads conversion tracking were implemented and QA’d against real purchases. Merlinbox then launched and managed Meta and Google campaigns with landing alignment to best-sellers, plus weekly reporting on ROAS, contribution margin, and creative performance.

“We finally own our storefront and can see which ads actually sell product. Merlinbox connected Shopify, tracking, and campaigns so we are not guessing every time we increase budget.”
