Shopify Store Custom Development

Personalized online store for women’s pants.

Online store specializing in women’s pants. A major feature of the store is a quiz that the customer takes determining their size and shape for ordering product.

Details:

• Assumed responsibility of improvement/maintenance of client’s customized production Shopify 1.0 theme
• Developed a migration path for the client’s store to Shopify 2.0 framework and selection of appropriate themes (selected 2.0 themes over Shopify’s support for a headless implementation)
• Built and maintain the PHP backend for a fit finding quiz. The quiz results are stored in a MySQL database, currently with over two million records
• Built an extended version of the same quiz that also integrates with the API of a 3rd party photo capture/analysis service to obtain accurate measurements and retrieve/store the photos in an encrypted AWS S3 bucket
• Built a Shopify 2.0 theme extension with a new quiz user interface using bootstrap and HTML to present a step-by-step wizard for the questions with validation
• Built an integration of the new quiz with Amazon Mechanical Turk, to help automate data collection/analysis used to improve the fit algorithm, supporting both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies
• Improved the integration of the marketing service Klaviyo, to help streamline the process of sending emails when a quiz was taken and to track more data about the customer for future emails
• Designed solutions for issues with the 3rd party CMS portion of the client’s store
