Capabilities

What we have built on Shopify, defined as capabilities and evidenced by the builds behind each one.

Quick view and in-grid add to cart

Adding to cart without leaving the grid: quick-view modals rendered through the Section Rendering API or an alternate product template, in-card variant pickers and size pills, and quick-add flows that block the add until an option is chosen. The cart request still carries a variant id, so the choice a product page would ask for has to be made in the card or in the modal.

On-site search, predictive search and external search services

The search box, the dropdown and the results page built as a real merchandising surface: multi-type tabs, hidden-SKU suppression, keyword-targeted promo tiles, zero-state panels with popular searches, accessible combobox semantics — and, where Shopify's own search could not express the catalog, a fetch to an external search service rendered client-side inside Liquid.

Product recommendations and cross-sell

Product recommendations and cross-sell rails on a Shopify storefront, built two ways: computed, where the theme asks Shopify's Product Recommendations API for products related or complementary to one anchor product; and curated, where a merchandiser's chosen set lives in product-list metafields, block settings or metaobject rules and the theme renders it with live prices and a working add-to-cart. Includes cross-sell on the product page, in the cart and on content pages.

Subscription purchase options on the product page

Subscription purchase options rendered on a Shopify product page: the selling-plan selector, the subscribe-or-one-time choice, the per-frequency price beside it, and the placement and styling work a subscription app's widget needs once it lands in the buy box. The plans, billing and customer portal belong to the platform and the app; the theme owns where the option sits, what price it shows and what the add-to-cart request carries.

Guided selling: quizzes, finders and routine builders

Diagnostic quizzes and product finders that turn answers into a recommended routine — questions and rules authored as metaobjects, matching run client-side, results captured into the ESP. Also covers integrating third-party quiz and skin-analysis engines and instrumenting them as measurable funnel steps.
