Key Results
A draft configurator product with 20 priced variants and a working logo upload, plus a documented decision path for the packaging fee.
Technologies Used
Challenges
- Tiered unit prices that must stay stable next to an existing volume-discount app
- Collecting customer logos without building a custom uploader
- A regulatory fee that must be correct per article but visible without cluttering checkout
- Theme templates that only exist in an unpublished copy and cannot be assigned to products
Solutions
- Variants carry the full tier price; the discount block is hidden on the new template
- Used the installed options app for a restricted file upload stored as a line-item property
- Compared fee-in-price, cart transform and app options and tied the choice to the sales model
- Planned adding only the new section and template to the live theme instead of swapping the whole theme
Overview
For a small drinkware and packaging brand I designed a configurable product: size and quantity as variants carrying the supplier's tiered totals, a required logo upload with allowed file types and a legal confirmation, and a dedicated storefront template that matches the existing theme. In parallel I analysed a packaging-fee spreadsheet, compared five ways to surface the fee (price inclusion, cart transform, fee app, fee product, shipping), flagged data errors in the sheet, and prepared the open questions for the client.
