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.

The Problem
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.
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
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.
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.
DPI Print-Quality Validation
Uploaded artwork is scored against print thresholds in real time — Excellent, Good, Okay, or Bad — before an order can proceed.
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.
Square-Footage Pricing Engine
Material selection and entered dimensions combine into a live per-square-foot price across six wallpaper and commercial substrates.
AWS-Backed Asset Handling
Dual S3 buckets separate customer uploads from admin-loaded source art, sidestepping Shopify's 5000px product-image limit.
