So, a mutual friend of ours

named Cate

has a request for CIC

and I’d like to see if we can help out

In addition to her work at CIC, Cate works at Bolt

and they have a shopify site

meep?

do I know this Cate?

yes

On their shopify site, they have an interface that looks like this:

They’d like that quantity interface to look like this instead:

They’d sell fabric in 1/4 yard increments, and some js would turn the user input into a quantity of 1/4s

I imagine that we can modify the theme to include some javascript to make this magic happen

WHAT SAY YOU DANA

is it possible?

HMM

Can I ask a clarifying question? When we enter the quantity in, would be be entering it in in 1/4 yards? so if I had 8 yards of fabric, would I have multiply 8 x 4?

you mean, when you entered inventory?

i was gonna ask about how this looks in the backend too

Yes.

Yes, I think you would

ew. that makes it harder.

does it make it not worth it?

i’m guessing quantities can’t be in fractions in the inventory

I don’t think they can

It might. Ideally we want to be able to manage the inventory in the same units we are being sold. So. sometimes we receive 8.67 yards. And we'd want to be able to manage that amount. in franctions. yep. i was worried about that.

WHY???

doing custom development for shopify sites sux

ha

I thought it got better!

Why does shopify have to be so dumb.

You should just sell in 1 yard increments online

Why don't people just buy full yards of fabric.

exactly.

i think the dev tools got a bit better. haven’t tried yet

And tell people to STFU up

yeah

Look, we solved your problem

for free

FOR FREE

I do my best to tell everyone that. NO ONE LISTENs.

THANK YOU.

I think your only option is to track your inventory in the unit you sell in

No really, I appreciate you looking at it!

and customize the UI to try to hide that complexity

that will take some time/work… probably a couple days. I expect it’s possible, but we wouldn’t really know until we dug into it a bit

CIC going rate is about 1k/day

I hadn't considered that yet, so maybe we'll have to move to that. I'll run it by Gina, my boss, and see what she thinks. Is that what you think Sewmuch commerce is doing?

Yes

Thank you so much! I'll get back to you.

Fractional quantity : App or developper for website !!

Hi, like many others here, i sell fabric and I would like to find a way to sell in decimal quantity, even if shopify doesnt manage decimal. First, to show you what i want the website to look like, here is 2 links of fabric shop that manage decimal and how they present it : https://www.clubtissus.c...

that basically confirms zach’s suggestion

We should be able to change the quantity selector in the theme. We can put a hidden field in the form with name=“quantity” and show whatever interface you want. When that interface changes, we can update the value of the hidden quantity programatically.

That really shouldn’t take us very long, as it’s pretty simple math

Yeah

and some time to set up a JS bundling pipeline

So, we’ll probably spend a few hours getting the dumb shopify dev environment setup, then like 2-4 hours figuring out how to get js in there in a sane way, and then like 1 hour writing the actual code.

So, yeah, probably like a day or two to do the whole thing

Ok. and that's us tracking the inventory in 1/4 yards?

Yeah

Got it. Sounds better than paying sewmuch commerce 100 per month for the rest of our lives.

for nothing.

i mean. one thing.

ha

yeah

One other little upside is that once we spent the time doing the initial setup, if you wanted us to make small tweaks in the future, it’d likely be easier

Cool. That's great.

Like, if you had another little UI change, we wouldn’t need to spend the 4-6 hours getting setup again, just the time it took to make the tweak

Coolcool. thank you!

you bet

New

I’d add something about how full our schedule is

but, well…

I guess you know
