Super Pacific's Shopify Configurator
Building a Dynamic Product Configurator for Super Pacific
The Challenge
Super Pacific needed a sophisticated product configurator that would allow customers to customize their truck camper builds based on their specific vehicle models. The configurator needed to:
- Display compatible products based on vehicle selection
- Show real-time pricing updates
- Maintain easy content management for the Super Pacific team
- Provide a seamless user experience
The Solution
We developed a custom product configurator using Shopify's native features - metaobjects and metafields - combined with custom Liquid templating. Here's how we built it:
Data Architecture
We created a metaobject schema for vehicles with fields for:
- Make
- Model
- Year range
- Compatible products
- Technical specifications
Product Relationships
Each product was enhanced with metafields to store:
- Vehicle compatibility
- Installation requirements
- Additional specifications
- Pricing rules
Custom Liquid Section
We developed a custom Liquid section that:
- Queries the vehicle metaobjects
- Filters compatible products
- Calculates dynamic pricing
- Renders the interactive interface
