How Applied Coverings Scaled Custom Wallpaper Sales with Shopify Plus

TL;DR

What We Shipped

Applied Coverings sells custom-printed wallpaper and commercial graphics, but their old platform couldn’t keep up with the customization and automation the business needed. Fyresite rebuilt them on Shopify Plus with a fully custom wallpaper customizer and an automated print-file pipeline — a turn-key engine for made-to-order sales that’s easy for the team to run in-house.

01

Replatformed to Shopify Plus

Certified custom theme rebuilt for performance and easy in-house management.

02

Custom wallpaper customizer

Shoppers upload or pick artwork, crop to exact dimensions, and preview before they buy.

03

Automated print-ready files

Every order generates a production-ready PDF — no manual prep from the team.

04

Live print-quality checks

DPI detection tells customers if their artwork is print-worthy before checkout.

05

Square-footage pricing

Prices update in real time from entered dimensions and material choice.

06

Turn-key fulfillment

Applied Coverings specializes in custom printed wallpaper and commercial graphics, but their existing platform was limiting their growth. They needed a system that could support advanced product customization while remaining easy to manage internally.

Customers needed to upload high resolution artwork, enter exact dimensions, choose materials, and receive accurate pricing based on square footage. On the backend, the team required a way to automatically generate print ready files for production. Their current setup lacked the flexibility and automation to support this level of customization and operational efficiency.

The Solution

We migrated Applied Coverings to Shopify Plus and rebuilt the website using a certified Shopify theme tailored to their brand and product structure. The focus was on usability, performance, and a streamlined buying experience.

We migrated Applied Coverings to Shopify Plus and rebuilt the website using a certified Shopify theme tailored to their brand and product structure. The focus was on usability, performance, and a streamlined buying experience.

Our team developed a fully custom Wallpaper Customizer App that allows users to upload or select artwork, crop designs to exact dimensions, validate print quality using DPI detection, and choose from multiple material options. Pricing dynamically updates based on size and material selection.

On the backend, the system automatically generates print ready PDFs and uploads them to AWS, attaching the file directly to the order for production. This removed manual processes and improved fulfillment accuracy.

The result is a turn key Shopify Plus solution that enhances the customer experience while optimizing Applied Coverings’ internal workflow for scalable growth.

Custom Features

What we engineered

01

Wallpaper Customizer App

A fully custom, in-house canvas tool: users upload .jpg/.png/.pdf or pull a high-res source from AWS, then crop to a fixed aspect ratio derived from their exact width and height.

02

Mural & Pattern Modes

Handles both single-image murals and repeating patterns, with configurable repeat sizing that holds at the set dimension until the customer changes it.

03

DPI Print-Quality Validation

Uploaded artwork is scored against print thresholds in real time — Excellent, Good, Okay, or Bad — before an order can proceed.

04

Print-Ready PDF Pipeline

On add-to-cart the app renders a full-resolution PDF at spec dimensions, uploads it to S3, and attaches the file link to the order meta for production.

05

Square-Footage Pricing Engine

Material selection and entered dimensions combine into a live per-square-foot price across six wallpaper and commercial substrates.

06

AWS-Backed Asset Handling

Dual S3 buckets separate customer uploads from admin-loaded source art, sidestepping Shopify's 5000px product-image limit.
