ROKA

Shopify’s 100 Variant Limit

  • We develop beautiful ecommerce websites to make businesses grow

  • ROKA is a technical apparel and eyewear ecommerce company. Their athletes have won numerous world titles, including Olympic gold in triathlon and speed skating, as well as taking multiple Tour de France cycling stages wins and the Dakar Rally.

    They wanted their website’s technical capabilities to align with the products that they offer.

    The Issue

    Shopify’s 100 Variant Limit

    Shopify has a limit of only 100 variants per product. According to Shopify, “Each product can have up to 3 options. The options can be different from product to product. For example, one product can use size, color, and style, and another product can use weight, finish, and material.” Each combination of those is considered a variant.

    ROKA wanted to offer a customizable sunglasses line, but hit a roadblock due to this limit.

    Our Solution

    We designed and developed this ReactJS web application to allow users to design their own sunglasses. This custom integration is unique in the Shopify ecommerce space. We built it so that ROKA can expand it as much as they need using Amazon Web Services and an API.

    We made the app integration seamless so it fits right in their Shopify site. We’ve also created stand alone product customizers, such as Maven’s customizable builder application.

     

    The Results

    Our work has helped ROKA increase revenue and offer additional high-end products including: the RISE collection and prescription eyewear. All of this while improving customer satisfaction.
