How can I create a searchable senior care database for my clients?

Topic summary

A consultant helping seniors find care options seeks a way to build a searchable database on their Shopify site. The database would allow searching for assisted living centers, nursing homes, payment options, and government resources by location, then generate customized reports for clients.

Proposed Solutions:

  • Airtable integration: Create the database in Airtable and embed it directly on Shopify pages using Airtable’s embedding feature.
  • Custom-coded solution: A developer shared an example of a custom Shopify page with similar search functionality, built using custom sections where data is added as blocks in the theme customizer, with query parameters handled via JavaScript and Liquid.

Current Status:
The original poster expressed interest in the Airtable approach. Another user later inquired about the outcome, indicating ongoing interest in similar database solutions. The custom development option remains available through direct contact with the developer who offered assistance.

One option that might work for you is using Airtable to create the database. Once you have created the database in Airtable, you can embed it on a Shopify page.

I hope this helps. Best of luck with your project!

Best,
