The Client

A Global Tile and Flooring Brand

The client is an established tile and flooring supplier operating across more than 25 countries. Their catalog includes a wide range of SKUs for wall tiles, floor tiles, outdoor solutions, underfloor heating systems, and complementary bathroom products, including shower sets, mirrors, and storage units.

They sell directly to homeowners and DIY buyers, as well as to trade audiences such as contractors, interior designers, architects, and property developers.

The Requirements

A Scalable Shopify Store for International Buyers

Given their global footprint and mixed B2B and B2C audience, the client needed a Shopify-based eCommerce store that could:

  • Handle an expanding product catalog and high transaction volumes.
  • Support multi-currency pricing and localized tax and shipping rules.
  • Deliver a clean, modern storefront with intuitive navigation and UX.
  • Offer a tile calculator with custom logic that helps buyers estimate how many tiles they need based on the area.
  • Integrate with widely used payment methods.
  • Keep packaging, stock availability, and pricing consistent across variants and regions.
Project Challenges

Engineering a JS Tile Calculator, Payments Stack, and Robust Back-End

While setting up the Shopify store was straightforward, several aspects required careful technical design:

  • The core challenge was building a custom JavaScript tile calculator that could handle multiple input types and units, apply wastage margins, support multiple surfaces, respect packaging rules, and round results to full boxes while excluding openings like doors and windows.
  • We also had to implement a PCI-DSS-compliant, cross-border payment stack, integrating global and local gateways in line with international security standards.
  • On the back-end, we needed an architecture that could scale to thousands of SKUs, keep product attributes in sync with the calculator, and ensure all updates stayed consistent across the storefront.
Our Solution

A Shopify eCommerce Site with an Embedded JavaScript Calculator

We recommended Shopify as the core eCommerce platform due to its scalability, security, and strong support for international selling. The development team then:

  • Implemented a custom JavaScript-based tile calculator directly on product detail pages.
  • Integrated PayPal, Klarna, and other global and regional payment gateways with multi-currency support.
  • Built a mobile-first, conversion-focused front-end tailored for both retail and trade users.

WORKFLOW

01

Discovery and Technical Planning

  • Collected detailed product data such as tile dimensions, coverage per box, tiles per carton, and category taxonomy (floor, wall, outdoor, bathroom).
  • Defined calculator logic requirements, including support for different measurement units, waste allowance percentages, and rounding to complete boxes.
  • Set up Shopify metafields to store key technical attributes like tile size, tiles per box, and price per square meter or per box.
02

Shopify Platform Setup

  • Configured the Shopify storefront with dedicated collections for tiles, flooring, outdoor tiles, and bathroom accessories.
  • Structured navigation and collection filters around category, size, finish, and use case, such as indoor vs outdoor or residential vs commercial.
  • Used Shopify's variant system to manage tiles that are offered in different sizes, finishes, and packaging configurations.
03

Custom Tile Calculator Development (JavaScript)

We created the core calculator logic using JavaScript to:

  • Accept dimensions in centimeters or meters and convert between units accurately.
  • Compute area using width × height and aggregate multiple surfaces when needed.
  • Map calculated area to the correct number of tiles and boxes based on tiles-per-box data.
  • Apply a configurable wastage factor (e.g., 7-12%) to account for cutting and breakage.
  • Add or subtract multiple areas, so users can include several walls or floors and exclude door or window openings.

04

Integration with Product Data and Inventory

  • Connected the calculator logic to Shopify metafields, so it can pull live product attributes such as tile size, coverage per box, and pricing.
  • Ensured calculations respect stock availability and packaging constraints for each SKU.
  • Implemented automated syncing so that updates (for example, a change in tile dimensions or tiles per box) are reflected immediately in the calculator without custom code changes.
05

Payment Gateway Integration

  • Integrated PCI-DSS compliant gateways, including PayPal, Klarna, and Shopify-supported methods suitable for international buyers.
  • Enabled express checkout options such as Shop Pay and Google Pay for faster conversion.
  • Configured multi-currency handling, tax calculations, and discount codes to support both local and cross-border purchases.
Featured Category
06

Front-End Design and User Experience

  • Designed a mobile-first UI where the tile calculator sits prominently on product pages, close to the buy box.
  • Used clear labels and placeholders, such as "Enter width" and "Enter height," with unit hints to keep the input straightforward.
  • Displayed real-time outputs, including total area, recommended tiles, number of boxes, and wastage, to increase buyer confidence.
07

QA, Testing, and Validation

  • Performed thorough QA and testing, including cross-browser and cross-device testing for the entire storefront and the calculator component.
  • Conducted scenario-based testing for different buyer types:
    • Homeowners with small projects, like a single bathroom wall or kitchen backsplash.
    • Contractors and developers working on multi-room or large commercial floor plans.
08

Launch and Post-Go-Live Support

  • Deployed the Shopify site with the tile calculator fully integrated into product detail templates.
  • Assisted with launch campaigns, including promotional banners and messaging that highlighted the calculator as a value-add tool.
  • Provided ongoing support for maintenance, minor enhancements, and UX refinements.
