Providing site visitors with a personalized user experience is key is a great way to smooth the patch to checkout. Custom calculators on your Shopify store can help customers quickly and accurately answer their specific questions or address their pain points.

By removing friction from the shopping process, you can significantly boost sales and improve overall customer satisfaction. They can also help with your search engine optimization (SEO), as people searching for these type of calculators may find your site with a Google search. Here, we’ll showcase a few examples from our portfolio. These are custom calculators created by the Aeolidia team that have removed barriers to purchase.

Superfit Hero

Superfit Hero is a luxury women’s activewear brand dedicated to promoting body positivity and inclusivity. They believe that every woman deserves activewear that fits well and makes her feel confident.

To support this mission, we designed a custom clothing size calculator for their Shopify store. This tool helps shoppers find their exact fit by taking into account individual measurements. Rather than Small, Medium, Large, Superfit’s sizes use unique names like WaterFit, EarthFit, AirFit. By providing a personalized sizing experience, Superfit Hero ensures their customers can find activewear that not only looks great but also feels comfortable and supportive.

J. Campbell

J. Campbell Design offers elegant wallpaper in convenient sheets designed for seamless installation. To enhance the shopping experience and simplify the process for their customers, we developed a custom calculator integrated into the product page. This tool helps shoppers accurately determine the exact number of wallpaper sheets they’ll need for their specific space.

The custom wallpaper calculator for Shopify eliminates guesswork and ensures that customers order the right amount of wallpaper, reducing waste and saving time. This thoughtful addition not only improves customer satisfaction, it helps customers move past the “doing math” hurdle that may prevent them from purchasing. It also keeps them from Googling a wallpaper calculator while browsing her site and ending up purchasing from a competitor.

This work on proactive customer support makes DuckaDilly a resource that quilters will return to over and over for planning and purchasing fabric for their projects. The Shopify quilting calculators we built turn a complicated ordering process into something more approachable, so customers won’t put the purchase off to another day.

To support their mission of inclusivity and ease in sewing, Cashmerette’s website features an in-depth page dedicated to helping shoppers find the perfect size patterns.

It is a lot of work to sew a garment, and they provide many resources to help people get it right the first time: the calculator, multiple detailed articles, and a workshop.

  1. Shopify needs a calculator that works for a Fabric store.
    1/4 yards/meters
    1/2 yards/meters
    3/4 yards/meters
    1 yard/meter
    see my site canadaeh1fabric to see how the fabric is ordered. The problem is that the site cannot work without freezing the variables or making the pictures disappear, causing many issues. This is an app that was suppose to work well with Shopify. NOT!
