Custom Shopify Functionality
Product personalisation and useful tools designed for the way your business works.
The work
Some products need more than a standard product page. Personalised products, for example, need a clear input flow and a reliable way to carry a customer’s choices into the order.
How we approach it
I map the complete flow before building: inputs, previews, validation, cart data and error states. On mobile, the controls need to remain usable without hiding the product.
Typical scope
- Product customisers
- Custom inputs
- Cart properties
- Interactive previews
- Practical testing
Scope and timing are agreed for each project.
Discuss your projectPlan the complete customer journey
For a personalised product, define the allowed inputs, character limits, preview behaviour and what must appear in the order. Decide how a customer corrects a mistake before adding to cart. A convincing preview is only useful if the final selection is also carried reliably through checkout.
Think about failure states
Check empty inputs, long names, unavailable variants and slow connections. Ensure the feature can be used with a keyboard and on a narrow screen. Document which parts are maintained in the theme and which depend on an app or external service.
