The Challenge
Simply Floors needed a way for contractors to request bulk quotes for flooring materials.
Standard Shopify apps were a failure for two reasons:
Cost: They charged high monthly subscription fees.
Rigidity: They couldn’t handle the complex shipping logic required for heavy pallets of flooring. The client needed a system where a customer could build a cart, request a custom shipping rate, and have that request instantly turn into a “Draft Order” in the backend—without slowing down the site.
Protocol Executed
We bypassed the Shopify App Store entirely. Our team architected a custom “Middleware” solution using Cloudflare Workers (Serverless Edge Computing).
The Logic Flow:
Intercept: When a user clicks “Request Quote,” the React frontend bundles the cart data as a JSON payload.
Process: The Cloudflare Worker intercepts this payload instantly (sub-50ms latency).
Execute: The Worker authenticates with the Shopify Admin API and generates a Draft Order programmatically.
Notify: The system triggers an internal alert to the sales team and clears the customer’s cart, redirecting them to a “Success” dashboard.
This solution runs entirely on the “Edge,” meaning zero server bloat and zero recurring plugin fees.
