I’ll try to keep this short and simple if possible
Company currently has a WordPress site using woo commerce with goals to migrate to shopify. It’s 90% completed but now my designer has hit a hurdle.
I’m wondering if you could shed some options to achieve what I need.
We are a company that manufactures products, we have about 3000 products. Our products contain chemical compounds which need to be reported to the end user via SDS sheets . Each of the 3000 products has a unique product sheet along with a unique technical sheet, there are also translated in several languages.
To distribute these important sheets, we provide them to the public, via product specific page which has 3 download links depending on the sheet required.
To create this product page, I had an app designer create an app for me to do so. Using our product database I export a list of names and product codes for all our 3000+ products, I then upload this CSV file into the custom app. The app will then generate an individual html page for each product on the csv sheet.
The newly generated 3000+ HTML pages are then uploaded via FTP to the website public directory (this is updated 2-3 times a year for new products) When a user launches one of these pages (often by qr distributed code or direct link, which I personally email them) they are displayed with the available datasheets for this specific product and they can then download the PDF datasheets for this item (all links on the page link to the corresponding datasheet) following the same path and naming strategy.
QR codes for each of these 3000+ product’s HTML datasheet page are also created. These QR codes are on the product labels of their corresponding product which allow the end user to scan the code which will connect them to the corresponding page and datasheets.
I need this same system in my new shopify store WITHOUT changing the paths so my current advertising and packaging is unaffected, I also want to add in a search function so users can search for their datasheets without me having to provide them the unique URL for the products they are looking for.
I’m not familiar with Shopfy and its capabilities, my current designer is claiming this is not easily achieved and cannot follow the same procedures are my older WordPress site.
Can someone who is fluent in Shopify back up what my current developer is claiming? I’m not sure if the developer is correct and or is trying to add extra hours on this product that are not justified.
Thank You.
