Designed and developed a scalable printer compatibility system for a Shopify store selling ink cartridges.
The solution enables customers to quickly find compatible products using a 3-level filtering system (brand → series → model), while also solving the challenge of managing thousands of printer models and product relationships efficiently.
To handle large-scale data (3000+ printer models), I implemented a custom automation layer using Shopify APIs. This allows compatibility to be managed from the product level, while automatically syncing relationships across metaobjects in the background.
The result is a fast, user-friendly frontend experience combined with a highly efficient and maintainable backend system.
Built a custom Shopify section that allows users to filter printers by brand, series, and model using structured metaobject data. The system dynamically updates options and ensures accurate product matching.
Designed a structured data system using Shopify metaobjects to manage printer brands, series, and models. This enables scalable data organization and flexible frontend filtering.
