Shopify themes, liquid, logos, and UX
Hello,
We make custom-sized products which are currently divided into 3 product categories based on size (charging more for larger units). The customer selects the product size which is relevant for them and then is meant to type in the make, model and year in the Notes section of their Cart page so that we know which product we need to make and ship. It can be confusing for the customer, however, if they don't know which product they should select and/or if they don't type in the make, model and year information on the Cart page notes section. I am looking to make it easier and clearer for customers.
The straight forward option (from a design perspective) would be to create a product for each make and then have different variants for each model within that make. They would still need to add the year to the Notes somewhere. I am concerned about having so many variants and the effect it can have on site speed and complexity of setting up and managing so many variants, especially since we are ultimately still going to be charging the customer based on one of the three pricing categories that we have already set up.
An alternative which I would like to explore is to have drop down menus which allow them to select the make, model and year and which will then bring up the correct product page based on those selections. We would also need to have those selections recorded somewhere during the order process so that we know what we need to make. Is this possible?
Thank you for any insight you can provide.
Regards,
Kirk
