Tile & Paint Calculator Documentation
Documentation for Tile & Paint Calculator, the Shopify app that adds tile and paint buy boxes, spec rows, catalog health checks and sample tracking to product pages.
Tile & Paint Calculator does four jobs on a tile or paint store. The buy boxes turn the area a shopper wants to cover into whole boxes of tile, or into the paint containers for a number of coats, and add them to the cart. The spec rows show tiles per square foot, tiles per box and the tile dimensions from the same values. Catalog health lists every product in a collection that is missing a value or a sample, so a catalog of thousands of products stays complete. Sample tracking follows each shopper from the sample order to the full-size order, writes customer tags, and sends the journey to Klaviyo when you connect it.
The app is free. Everything runs on theme app blocks you place in the theme editor; nothing is written to your theme files.
