Super Pacific's Shopify Book-a-Demo App
Facilitating Camper Demos with Existing X1 Owners
The Challenge
Super Pacific needed a sophisticated app that would allow potential customers to book a demo with existing X1 owners. The app needed to:
- Integrate with Shopify to access customer addresses
- Allow filtering by location and truck type
- Facilitate meet-ups for camper demos
- Automate backend processes with Zapier
The Solution
We developed a custom "Book-a-Demo" app using Shopify's native features - metaobjects and metafields - combined with custom API calls. Here's how we built it:
Data Architecture
We utilized metaobjects and metafields to store:
- Customer addresses
- Truck types
- Opt-in status for demos
API Integration
When the page loads, an API call to Shopify Admin retrieves the owner's address and links it to the prospective shopper. The shopper can then:
- Filter by the owner's location
- Select the truck type
- Choose to meet up with the owner for a demo
Automation with Zapier
Multiple Zapier backend flows were implemented to:
- Send data to relevant parties
- Automate email notifications
- Streamline the booking process
