Full Stack Developer Needed – Glass Railing Configurator & Shopify Integration Project Overview We are FMF Glass Hardware, a Canadian supplier of architectural glass hardware products serving contractors, glass companies, and builders across North America. We are looking for an experienced Full Stack Developer (or small development team) to build Phase 1 of a web-based Glass Railing Configurator that will integrate directly with our Shopify website. This project is NOT intended to be a highly advanced CAD software or engineering platform. We are looking for a practical, user-friendly business tool that helps customers design railing layouts, automatically select products from our inventory, generate a bill of materials (BOM), and place orders through Shopify. --- Phase 1 Scope The first version of the software will support: Glass Railing Systems Only Supported Applications: * Balcony Railings * Pool Fence Railings * Staircase Railings * Residential and Commercial Railing Projects The system will NOT initially support: * Shower Doors * Office Partitions * Entrance Systems * Storefront Systems * Custom Glass Fabrication Future phases may include these products. --- Primary Objectives The software should allow customers to: 1. Draw a railing layout 2. Enter project measurements 3. Automatically calculate required glass panels 4. Automatically calculate required hardware 5. Generate a bill of materials (BOM) 6. Display a visual representation of the project 7. Add all required products directly to Shopify cart 8. Request a quotation or complete checkout --- Important Project Requirements Inventory-Based Calculations The configurator must use our existing inventory sizes. We DO NOT want custom glass sizing calculations. Example: Customer enters a 20-foot railing section. The software should determine the best combination of standard FMF glass panel sizes to complete the project. The software should optimize panel selection using available inventory sizes. --- Product Categories Included in Phase 1 Glass Panels Standard stock glass panel sizes. Spigots Various finishes and models. Base Shoe Systems Standard aluminum base shoe systems. Railing Clamps Compatible clamp selections. Additional products may be added later. --- Drawing Interface Users should be able to create layouts such as: * Straight Railings * L-Shaped Railings * U-Shaped Railings * Multi-Segment Railings The drawing interface should be simple and user-friendly. Users should be able to: * Add segments * Enter dimensions * Adjust angles * Modify layout No professional CAD experience should be required. --- Bill of Materials (BOM) After the layout is completed, the software should automatically generate: Example Glass Panels: * 5 × 48" Panels * 2 × 36" Panels Hardware: * 7 × Spigots * 4 × Clamps * 1 × Base Shoe Kit The BOM should be editable before checkout. --- Shopify Integration The configurator must integrate with Shopify. Requirements: * Pull product information from Shopify * Pull pricing from Shopify * Add calculated products to Shopify cart * Generate order information * Support future product additions Experience integrating with Shopify is strongly preferred. --- 3D Visualization We require a visual representation of the railing project. However: We are NOT looking for video game quality rendering. We do NOT require: * Advanced lighting systems * HDR rendering * Particle effects * Special visual effects * Photorealistic rendering A clean and professional 3D preview is sufficient. The primary purpose is helping customers visualize the layout. --- Technical Requirements Preferred Technologies: * React * [login to view URL] * [login to view URL] * Node.js * TypeScript Equivalent technologies may be proposed. The application should be: * Desktop Friendly * Mobile Responsive * Fast Loading * Scalable for future phases --- Future Development Opportunities Phase 2 may include: * Shower Door Configurator * Office Partition Configurator * Entrance System Configurator * Advanced Project Management Features * Additional Hardware Categories We are interested in building a long-term relationship with the right developer. --- Required Experience Please only apply if you have experience with one or more of the following: * Product Configurators * Construction Software * Building Material Estimators * Fence Configurators * Deck Configurators * Cabinet Configurators * Window & Door Configurators * Shopify Custom Applications * [login to view URL] Applications When applying, please provide: 1. Portfolio examples 2. Similar configurator projects 3. Shopify integration experience 4. Estimated timeline 5. Estimated project cost 6. Development approach --- Important: Please do not submit generic proposals. We are specifically looking for developers who have previously built configurators, estimating tools, or construction-related software. Applications with relevant examples will be prioritized.

Hi — Elias here from Miami. I've reviewed your project for a glass railing configurator with Shopify integration. It sounds like a unique solution that can enhance user experience in the construction sector. What usually matters most here is ensuring a seamless user experience while managing the complexities of 3D visualization and data structures. A common issue in systems like this is handling real-time updates effectively while maintaining performance. The tricky part is ensuring the configurator integrates smoothly with Shopify, especially regarding inventory management. My approach would involve building a robust backend that supports real-time data processing and state management to ensure a responsive interface. I would prioritize maintainability and scalability, allowing for future enhancements as your product evolves. I've worked on similar web applications leveraging 3D visualization and e-commerce platforms. This experience helps me foresee potential integration challenges and streamline the development process. A few questions to better understand the scope: Q1 – What specific user roles and permissions do you envision for the configurator? Q2 – Are there particular Shopify plugins or features you want to integrate? Q3 – How do you plan to handle the 3D model updates or changes in product specifications? Looking forward to hearing from you.

I will also ensure the app pulls product info and pricing from Shopify, adds selected products directly to the cart, and helps customers get quotes or buy instantly. Clear communication, high-quality work, and quick delivery are my priorities to save you time and support your growth. Let’s chat about your plan and build something great together. Regards, Nick.

I can do this Job! You need a practical glass railing configurator that turns balcony, pool fence, and staircase layouts into a usable BOM and Shopify order flow. I would build Phase 1 around a clean measurement workflow, product-rule engine, inventory mapping, 3D or guided visual layout where useful, and a Shopify cart handoff that contractors can trust without turning this into overbuilt CAD software. For this project, I would focus especially on: - Railing layout inputs, validation rules, and BOM generation - Shopify product mapping, pricing, cart handoff, and order traceability - Contractor-friendly UX with test cases for balcony, pool, stair, residential, and commercial jobs If helpful, I can outline the configurator rule model and Shopify integration checklist first. Best regards, Dr. Syafiq

Hi, I can help you You want a simple tool where people sketch a railing, type sizes, see a clean 3D view, and it picks glass and hardware from your stock, builds an editable parts list, then adds everything to the Shopify cart to buy or request a quote. It should be fast, friendly, and use your current products and prices, not custom glass sizes. This will take a few days, I've been doing this type of work for years. I have short walkthrough videos on my Freelancer profile showing similar work. 1) Do you have a product list with exact sizes, rules, and pricing already in Shopify? 2) What should the final 3D view and BOM page look like, and which layouts are must-have for Phase 1? Ideally, we have a call and go through the details together so I can make sure I understand everything correctly, address any questions, and give you a quote and timeline. Would that work? Best, Nicolas

I understand you need a user-friendly, web-based Glass Railing Configurator that integrates with your Shopify site, specifically for Phase 1 of your FMF Glass Hardware offering. I recently built a similar product customization tool for a custom furniture company, resulting in a 25% increase in online quote submissions. My approach will involve developing a React front-end for the visual configurator, leveraging Framer Motion for smooth animations as users select railing types, glass panels, and hardware finishes. This will feed into a Node.js/Express API, storing configurations and generating order summaries. For Shopify integration, I'll use the Shopify Storefront API to create draft orders with the selected product details and custom line items. What is the desired format for the generated order summary data sent to Shopify? Ready to start as soon as you confirm scope.

Hi, I can help with a practical glass railing configurator that draws layouts, optimizes standard glass panel selections from your inventory, generates an editable BOM, and adds everything to your Shopify cart. I’ll start by mapping your product categories (panels, spigots, base shoe kits, clamps) and Shopify product/pricing fields to a data model, then build the layout + inventory-based panel optimization flow with clear intermediate outputs. I’ll reduce risk with short milestones, sample JSON-driven BOM previews, and frequent check-ins using your real Shopify catalog to validate cart/checkout behavior. Should we begin with straight segments only or include L/U/multi-segment support from day one? Which exact standard panel sizes and hardware SKU fields are available in Shopify for Phase 1? Happy to discuss timeline and an approach that fits your Phase 1 scope.
