Ecommerce Flutter-based Mobile App for Canvasworks

Client Background

Canvasworks, a sister site to The Canvas Works, specializes in crafting exquisite canvas prints and framed prints from customer photos. Seeking to adapt to modern e-commerce demands, Canvasworks partnered with Exline Labs to develop a cross-platform mobile app that seamlessly integrates with their online store, enhancing the overall customer experience.

Project Overview

The primary objectives were to develop a mobile app that seamlessly integrated with Canvasworks’ Shopify website, supported various payment gateways, and enhanced the customer experience through an intuitive design. The goal was to maintain existing offerings while introducing new features and preserving a consistent shopping experience.

The mobile app was developed using Flutter, ensuring cross-platform compatibility for a consistent user experience on Android and iOS devices. The technology stack included:

  • Firebase: Implemented for push notifications to enhance user engagement and provide timely updates.
  • Stripe Payment Gateway: Integrated for secure and seamless online transactions within the app.
  • PayPal Payment Gateway Integration: Included to offer users an additional, widely-used payment option for a flexible and convenient checkout process.
  • Shopify Website Integration: Ensured a smooth connection between the mobile app and Canvasworks’ Shopify website for a unified shopping experience.
  • Integration with Image-Transfer App: Facilitated a seamless connection between the mobile app and Canvasworks’ image-transfer app hosted on their server, streamlining the process of transferring images for printing.

Exline Labs implemented a comprehensive solution to meet Canvasworks’ current needs and position the app for future scalability. The development process included:

  • Planning and Requirement Analysis: Collaborative sessions with Canvasworks to understand business goals and user requirements.
  • Design and Prototyping: Creation of a user-friendly interface with a focus on aesthetic appeal and intuitive navigation.
  • Development and Integration: Utilization of Flutter for cross-platform compatibility and seamless integration with Firebase, Stripe, PayPal, Shopify, and the image-transfer app.

The project timeline was executed meticulously, with rigorous testing phases to ensure functionality, security, and compatibility across various devices. The deployment phase successfully launched the app on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store, marking a key milestone in making Canvasworks’ offerings easily accessible to a broad audience.

The Canvasworks mobile app developed by Exline Labs has resulted in positive outcomes:

  • Enhanced User Experience: The app provides a seamless and enjoyable shopping experience.
