Hey everyone, I run a small construction estimating business. I’m exploring ways to showcase or sell my services online. Right now, most of my work is on my website, lewisestimating.com, but I’m thinking about using Shopify to make it easier for clients to request estimates or submit project details.
Not sure if I should just link my current site to Shopify or build something straight on it. Anyone know any apps or ways to make this super easy for clients? Any tips would be amazing!
Create a Service product in Shopify and attach a custom request form (Hulk Forms works well).
You can also embed that form on your existing site so clients go straight into the Shopify workflow.
Hey @annawilliam
Shopify indeed makes everything easy like booking and services system, only if you have the right knowledge and guidance. There are multiple apps that can help you out too and if you don’t want to use apps then the features you’re requesting for can be custom coded as well. It’s all upto you.
Although if you don’t have much knowledge about Shopify then my best suggestion would be to consult with a Shopify developer to give you the right direction. Happy to help you out through your journey if you require any help from me.
Cheers,
Moeed
Thanks for the tip! Setting up a Service product with a custom form sounds like a super easy way to handle client requests. I’ll check out Hulk Forms and see how it works with Shopify. Really appreciate the advice!
Wow 
Shopify’s come a long way since I last checked it out! Definitely a lot easier to use now. Appreciate you offering to help!
Good luck for your store!
