Overview

Half Price Drapes is a United States–based home furnishings brand specializing in custom curtains and window treatments. As an established ecommerce retailer, they needed to expand their customization capabilities with a system built to manage complex sizes, attributes, and pricing variations at scale.

Overview

Challenge

Half Price Drapes needed a system that could support detailed configuration without manual effort. Their previous Shopify site was built on outdated code, older logic, and an aging interface, which limited the depth of personalization required for custom curtains and Roman shades. Customers also lacked dynamic cost calculation, reducing clarity during the buying process and increasing operational strain for internal teams.

Complex Pricing Requirements

Managing multiple attributes and size combinations required accurate calculations that Shopify could not generate automatically. The team needed a reliable way to generate precise prices without manual oversight.

Limited Storefront Flexibility

Shopify’s native capabilities could not support the configuration rules needed for advanced custom products. This limited their ability to expand configurable offerings effectively.

Manual Operational Work

Pricing updates, inventory checks, and attribute rule management depended on manual workflows. This created inconsistencies and slowed order fulfillment.

Outdated Pricing Logic

Pricing on the old site used outdated manual methods, creating extra effort, slow updates, and unclear details for customers. Manual and legacy approach…

Fragmented Inventory Logic

Fabric-level inventory and custom product availability were not connected, resulting in mismatches between options selected and actual stock.

The Solution We Delivered

Live Attribute-Based Pricing Engine

Live Attribute-Based Pricing Engine

We created a JavaScript-driven pricing engine capable of calculating costs instantly as customers selected attributes such as size, lining, fabric type, and customization options. This system operated entirely within Shopify’s constraints while maintaining precision. It allowed customers to understand cost in real time, removed guesswork, and eliminated manual calculations for internal teams. The pricing logic now scales across multiple product categories without requiring ongoing developer intervention.

Custom Shopify App for Full Configuration Control

Custom Shopify App for Full Configuration Control

We developed a dedicated Shopify app to manage the full customization workflow. It centralized configuration rules, pricing tables, and product relationships. The app allowed staff to update attribute rules, approve combinations, and adjust configuration logic from a clean interface. This replaced the need for scattered spreadsheets or manual overrides and provided a stable foundation for frequent product updates.

Cart Transform API Logic for Configurable Products

Cart Transform API Logic for Configurable Products

Using the Cart Transform API, we ensured that every unique configuration mapped correctly to the correct variant and pricing rules. The system validated selections, applied accurate pricing, and ensured each cart entry reflected the exact configuration chosen. This created a reliable cart experience for custom products while maintaining Shopify compatibility.

Unified Inventory Syncing Between Fabric SKUs

Unified Inventory Syncing Between Fabric SKUs

A webhook-based syncing system was introduced to connect fabric-level SKUs with all dependent custom products. With every change in fabric inventory, associated customizable items are updated instantly to reflect accurate stock levels. This removed mismatches between available fabrics and selectable configurations, ensuring the merchandising team could rely on real-time availability and preventing customers from choosing options that weren’t actually in stock.

Custom Admin UI for Attribute Management

Custom Admin UI for Attribute Management

A streamlined admin interface was developed to help staff manage size rules, attribute combinations, fabric mapping, and configuration logic. The dashboard was intentionally built for non-technical teams, allowing quick updates without developer involvement. As a result, operational tasks became simpler, rule changes were completed faster, and the internal team maintained full control over the customization logic with minimal training.

Immersive Vertical-Slider Storefront

Immersive Vertical-Slider Storefront

We designed a modern vertical-slider interface to improve product discovery and create a clearer visual experience. The updated layout presents categories, featured items, and promotions in a smooth, scroll-based flow that aligns with current design standards. This reduced clutter and helped customers browse more intuitively across devices. The slider approach also gave the merchandising team greater flexibility in showcasing curated content.

End-to-End Customization Workflow

End-to-End Customization Workflow

We implemented a complete workflow connecting the storefront, pricing engine, inventory logic, and admin controls. Customers could configure products, see accurate instant pricing, add custom items to cart, and complete purchases with confidence. Internally, the team gained a clear, automated process for maintaining and updating their custom product catalog.
