Custom Shopify App for Signage & Print Ordering

SS Signs is a Brisbane-based signage and printing company serving builders, retailers, councils, event teams and national brands across Australia. We built a custom Shopify app that powers instant pricing, online artwork setup and a streamlined order-to-production workflow, so customers can order custom signs in minutes and the team can produce them within 48 hours.

About the Project

SS Signs sells corflute signs, pull up banners, safety signage, vinyl banners and banner mesh. It also offers A-frames, neon signs, stickers and illuminated displays. Each product comes in many sizes, materials and finishes. In addition, every order depends on customer artwork.

The challenge was to keep the storefront simple. At the same time, production had to stay accurate behind the scenes. To solve this, our custom Shopify app links product options, [design tool / artwork upload] and dynamic pricing. It also sends clean, complete job data to the print team. As a result, customers get an instant quote.

The result is a store that feels simple to buy from. Behind it, a powerful backend does the heavy lifting for the team.

Key Project Deliverables

This project delivers a custom Shopify app and storefront experience. It covers product configuration, instant pricing, artwork handling and production workflow for many signage products.

Shopify Sign Configurator

Built an intuitive Shopify storefront configurator that enabled customers to select sign styles, dimensions, materials, colors, and finishes, then preview their personalized product before adding it to the cart.

Responsive UI

Designed a responsive customization interface with accessible controls, clear pricing updates, and helpful validation, making it easier for shoppers to configure signs across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

Pricing and Options Engine

Implemented configuration rules and pricing calculations that updated product totals as customers made selections, while preventing incompatible options and keeping prices consistent throughout the shopping experience.

Cart and Checkout

Integrated configured products with Shopify cart and checkout workflows, preserving customer selections in order details so shoppers could review purchases and merchants could fulfill custom signs accurately.

Quality Assurance

Tested key storefront journeys, responsive layouts, configuration changes, pricing scenarios, and cart behavior to identify issues and improve the reliability of the sign-customization experience before release.

Merchant Documentation

Prepared setup and troubleshooting guidance for managing sign options and product mappings, helping store teams maintain the configurator and handle common updates without ongoing developer assistance.

Engineered for Speed, Accuracy, and Scale

The project goals were clear:

Enable customers to personalize signs by selecting styles, dimensions, materials, colors, and finishes before adding products to their cart.
Provide an accessible, responsive configurator that makes customization simple across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
Keep product pricing accurate as customers adjust their selections and prevent incompatible configuration options.
Connect custom product selections to Shopify cart and checkout for accurate order reviews and fulfillment.

Sign Configurator Benefits

Discover a simpler way to personalize custom signs. Customers can choose their preferred options, review pricing, and complete their purchase through your Shopify store.

Faster Customization

Customers can select sign styles, sizes, materials, and finishes in one place. As a result, they can configure products and move toward checkout with less guesswork.

Clear, Up-to-Date Pricing

Prices adjust as customers make their selections. Therefore, shoppers can understand the cost of their chosen configuration before adding it to their cart.

Fewer Order Errors

Guided choices help customers submit complete, compatible product details. In turn, merchants can reduce misunderstandings and fulfill custom sign orders more accurately.

Smoother Checkout

Configured product details carry through to the Shopify cart and checkout. Consequently, customers can review their choices while completing their purchase.

Easier Store Management

Store teams can manage sign options and product information with clear setup guidance. Additionally, troubleshooting resources help make routine updates easier.

Ultimately, the configurator brings product personalization, pricing, and ordering together—helping customers shop with confidence while supporting accurate fulfillment.
