Techtic X Solplace: Custom Shopify Store for a DTC Furniture Brand

The entire Shopify storefront was built from scratch using a fully custom theme developed directly from Sol Places’ Figma designs, with no pre-built template as a starting point. The theme was architected with a modular homepage structure featuring above-the-fold CTAs, product quality highlights, customer testimonials, and brand storytelling sections. A mobile-first development approach was applied throughout, with extensive cross-device testing to ensure that multimedia banners, dynamic sections, and interactive elements rendered with consistent fidelity and performance across all screen sizes.

The product detail page was designed to serve as the commercial centrepiece of the store, rich and informative without overwhelming the user. The page supports multiple fabric types and colour variations, with pricing that updates dynamically in real time as customers make their selections, giving complete cost transparency before checkout. High-resolution image galleries, a detailed FAQs section, and integrated product reviews via the Loox app were incorporated to build confidence and address purchase hesitation at the most critical point in the buying journey.

Guest checkout was implemented as a first-class feature. Users can browse, configure their product, and complete a purchase without ever creating an account. The checkout flow leverages Shopify’s native infrastructure for shipping, billing, and payment, keeping the experience fast and familiar. For returning visitors, Shopify’s session and device recognition capabilities allow basic details and address information to be surfaced automatically, reducing re-entry friction without requiring a login. Email confirmation flows for account creation were also built for users who choose to register.

Three key third-party integrations were implemented and styled to sit seamlessly within the custom theme. Klaviyo was configured for email marketing and newsletter automation, enabling Sol Places to build and nurture its customer base from launch. The Mega Menu app was integrated to support a customisable, responsive navigation structure. Loox was set up for product reviews and user-generated content, providing an ongoing stream of social proof directly on the product page. Each integration was customised in appearance and placement to match the theme’s visual language precisely.

A self-service customer dashboard was developed to give registered users full visibility and control over their orders, including tracking purchases, cancelling orders, updating shipping details, and managing their address book and profile. For guest users, order tracking is accessible via order ID and email, ensuring that every customer, regardless of account status, can stay informed on their delivery without needing to contact support.

Shopify’s admin panel was fully configured to give the Sol Places team independent control over products, orders, customers, and content without developer involvement for routine tasks. CMS-enabled pages including About Us, Contact, Privacy Policy, and Returns and Refunds were created and structured for easy ongoing editing. Role-based admin access, secure password recovery, and a metrics dashboard were all set up to give the team full operational visibility from day one.
