STS9

We’re thrilled to share a recent collaboration that hits all the right notes—we had the opportunity to work with the legendary band STS9 (Sound Tribe Sector 9) to bring their digital presence onto Shopify. Known for their immersive live performances and deeply loyal fanbase, STS9 needed a platform that could keep up with their energy, handle high traffic around merch drops, and provide a seamless shopping experience for fans old and new.

Our team at Candela consulted closely with the band and their management to create a storefront that balances function and vibe. From intuitive navigation to a custom design that reflects the band’s iconic aesthetic, the new Shopify site allows fans to dive into STS9’s world and get their hands on exclusive merchandise with ease. We also streamlined their backend operations—giving the team powerful tools to manage inventory, process orders, and scale quickly during tour season or new releases.

This project is a great example of what we love doing: building digital experiences that feel as good as they perform.
