BLK & Bold: a shipping rule in the top bar, sold-out cards kept in the grid and a gift card for the undecided
BLK & Bold sells specialty coffee, tea, merchandise and gift cards from a Shopify store. Its top bar names the free-shipping threshold above the menu, its All products page keeps nine sold-out products in the grid beside the filters, and its gift card page gives a shopper who cannot choose a route that does not need a choice.

What the page shows, top to bottom
- The shipping rule in the first line. The top bar reads "Enjoy Free Shipping on Orders Over $35! Restrictions Apply." It sits above the menu on every page we read. The bar is a slideshow: a second line, "Free US Shipping on Subscription Orders! Subscribe and Save!", takes its place when the slide turns.
- A hero with one button. The homepage hero reads "BOLD COFFEE, BIGGER IMPACT", with the line "Coffee For You, Impact For Our Youth" and a single Shop Now button. Arrows at the bottom right move between slides.
- A recent-purchase notice. A small box at the bottom left names a first name, a town, a coffee and a time, such as "41 minutes ago" on the day we read it. It is a ProveSource notice, covered in the Theme of the Day page.
- A choice on the first visit. A cookie panel offers Manage preferences, Accept and Decline. We chose Decline before taking the pictures. We did not enter an email address or open an account.
- A filtered catalogue. The All products page shows 34 products, an Availability filter, a Price filter, a sort menu and three view buttons. On the day we read it, the sort read Alphabetically, A-Z.
- Sold-out products stay in the grid. Nine cards carry a SOLD OUT label. The 2-Pack CRWN Mug and Logo Lapel Pins keeps its name and its $10.00 price on its card.
- A gift card with a value menu. The gift card page opens with "Shopping for someone else but not sure what to give them? Give them the gift of choice", then offers values from $5.00 to $100.00, Add to cart and Buy with Shop. Its delivery notes say codes arrive by email, and that each card in a multi-card order arrives in its own email.
How it is built
The page code gives a Shopify theme object named "August 16 2024", a copy name the store chose, with the schema name Expanse, version 5.2.4 and Theme Store id 902. The theme is covered on the Theme of the Day page. The page code also loads scripts from ProveSource, Recharge, Klaviyo, Postscript, Wisepops and Bazaarvoice. We saw the ProveSource notice on screen. We did not see the others on screen, so this page does not describe them as features.
What a shopper gets, step by step
- Reads the free-shipping threshold in the top bar before choosing anything.
- Filters the coffee and merchandise by availability or by price, then sorts the grid.
- Sees a sold-out product in its place in the grid, with its name and its price.
- Picks a gift card value and pays with a card, or with Buy with Shop.
Who else does it
Three other stores in our reading state a shipping rule near the top of the page.
Verve Coffee Roasters
Free shipping on orders $35 and over sits in the top bar, beside an in-store order-ahead line.
Bruvi
Free shipping after $69 is the first line of its top bar, above the subscription saving.
Tentree
Free shipping on orders over $100 sits above the menu, and the threshold is repeated near the buy button.

Terre Bleu
A shipping threshold in the first line and a pickup time beside the buy button, from 4 November.
What we did not check
We did not buy, open a checkout, enter an email address or read the terms of the gift cards or the subscription. We did not check how the free-shipping threshold is applied at checkout. Prices, the sort order and the SOLD OUT count are as shown on 5 November 2026 and may have changed.
Where to look
The store is at blkandbold.com. We read the homepage, the All products collection and the gift card page in a headless browser on 5 November 2026, without buying or signing up for anything. BLK & Bold is one of the fifty stores on The Shopify 50 page.
