Question: Building an event page with Shopify

[shizuno]

Currently, I am running an e-commerce site on Shopify that specializes in creating acrylic merchandise. Since many of our customers participate in events like Comic Market, I would like to build an event-specific section within the site.

Specifically, I plan to implement the following three types of pages:

### Event List Page
This page will display a list of events scheduled to be held within the next six months.

### Event Details Page
This page will include detailed information for each event, such as the event date, venue, and application details.
If users access a page for an event that has already passed, they will be redirected to an event completion page.

### Event Reservation Page for Delivery
Users will be able to make delivery reservations for each event.
Information about delivery destinations and methods may vary depending on the event.

Is it possible to create dynamic event pages like the ones described above on Shopify?

Ideally, I would like to manage all event information within Shopify. However, if managing data on Shopify proves difficult, I am also considering using a headless CMS like MicroCMS. Would it be feasible to build dynamic event pages on Shopify using a headless CMS?

I would appreciate your guidance on the most suitable approach to achieve this.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi @shizuno 

I think for the Event details page and Event list page you can use Metaobjects and Metaobject template. Here are some recourses to check:

For the Event Reservation Page not sure, you could probably use some custom form or some app to gather user details.

There is some work there but I think you do not need any headless CMS if it is easier for you, why not 😀

Good luck
