Founded in 1966 by Beth Fluke as a flower shop in Kennebunkport, Maine, Dandelion evolved into a jewelry store after moving to Philadelphia.

Dandelion's mission is to support artists, foster community, and offer ethically-sourced, high-quality jewelry. The company’s dedication to these values has created a welcoming environment where customers can find the perfect pieces for any occasion, from small tokens to significant celebrations.

Client Needs and Pain Points

Dandelion sought assistance with customizing their checkout page to include features for gifting items. They needed the option for customers to select items to gift to others and write personalized messages. Additionally, they faced challenges with unique gift card codes, requiring manual input of additional digits.

Project Challenges and Our Solutions

The primary challenge was to enhance the checkout page to accommodate gifting options and address the issue with gift card codes.

Our solutions include utilizing extension-only apps and customizing the checkout UI to implement the following functionalities:
Building custom boxes to facilitate gift selection and allowing merchants to enter "gift messages" and "recipient" details. This information will be stored in the order metafield for easy access and management.
Implementing messages and guidelines within the checkout UI to instruct customers on adding "00" at the end of the gift card code. This ensures a seamless checkout experience for customers with 6-digit gift card codes.

Key Achievements
