This case study features a custom Shopify theme built for Home Direct Flooring
Shopify Product Filters for Flooring & Trim
We started with a theme that best matched the client’s need for a product catalog that could filter products by properties such as vendor, material, and color.
As products are added, the properties by which products can be filtered may need to change. Knowing this, we made adjustments to the theme so that the sidebar controls could be easily altered from the Shopify admin page. This theme made this deliverable easy and required minimal programming to ensure that the theme remained flexible.
It’s important to understand the theme you choose so you are able to cut down on development time and make customizations as new needs arise.
Additional Products
Another need arose to display additional products as an add-on to a main product. Specifically, trims to be purchased along with flooring tiles.
The solution was to build a reusable theme snippet that could be added to any product page to display the trims available for that product. In order for this snippet to work we needed to:
- Add all of the trims to a collection
- Tag the trims in order to control which trims would be displayed for which products
- Write the snippet file looping through trims and displaying only trims whose tags match the current product page
We also edited the theme to hide trims from the main catalog.
Other Shopify Customizations
We made a number of other feature additions including:
- Sq Ft quantity calculator for the product page
- Price banners to be displayed over each grid item in a product grid
- Samples request form with dynamic drop downs
- Tab layout to display product details and downloads on the product page
