Product Database Design and Site Setup with Complex Product Logic

Complex Product Configuration: Successfully implemented a solution for a large number of product variations.

Custom Swatch Selector: Developed a custom pop-up swatch selector for a seamless user experience.

Efficient Product Management: Leveraged Shopify's metafields to streamline product data management.

Seamless User Journey: Ensured a smooth transition between product pages and checkout.

• We evaluated both Shopify’s native variant management options and third-party apps
  
• Shopify’s native solution has a limit of 100 variants per product, which was insufficient for our needs, as we required 400 variants per product
  
• While third-party applications are viable, they introduce subscription costs, reliance on external services, potential site speed reduction, and the risk of conflicts with themes and other plugins

Enhanced User Experience: A seamless shopping experience for customers, allowing them to easily customize products to their preferences.

Increased Sales: A more intuitive product presentation can lead to higher conversion rates.

Improved Site Organization: A well-structured product catalog enhances site navigation and search functionality.

• Using the client’s reference materials and data, we created a catalog of 1,000 products: 40 bed models, each available in 25 color and fabric combinations. We then incorporated size and storage options for each model
  
• We implemented metafields for each product and variation to ensure the necessary information displayed correctly on the site
  
• Developed a pop-up swatch selector, coded pseudo-variants, and configured seamless image switching when a swatch was selected. Users could then smoothly transition to a page with the selected color option
  
• Configured metafields within the admin panel to streamline swatch management, allowing for easy adjustments directly by the admin.

The site now features a well-organized product structure, enabling users to select color, fabric, and storage options within a single product page. Each product variant was created as a unique item in the admin panel, so the selected variant’s unique SKU is added directly to the cart.
