The challenge of project

• Complex Product Customization and Configuration:
  • Challenge: Selling prescription glasses involves numerous variables (prescription details, lens types, coatings, frame sizes, colors, etc.). Building a seamless, intuitive, and technically sound product configurator that handles all these permutations accurately and efficiently can be very complex.
  • Technical Implications: This often requires extensive Liquid (Shopify’s templating language) customization, potentially custom JavaScript, and careful management of product variants to avoid “too many variants” issues (Shopify has a limit of 100 variants per product). Ensuring the correct pricing is applied based on all selected options is also a critical backend challenge.
• Prescription Input and Validation:
  • Challenge: Accurately collecting and validating complex prescription data from customers (Sphere, Cylinder, Axis, ADD, PD for both eyes) is crucial. Incorrect input can lead to costly returns and dissatisfied customers.
  • Technical Implications: This might involve custom forms, client-side validation (JavaScript to check for valid number ranges, format, etc.), and potentially server-side validation. Integrating this data smoothly with their order fulfillment system and lab processes is another layer of complexity
