Slab Gallery

Every slab listed individually. Customer claims the actual block they will receive. 36-hour hold.

Each marble or quartzite slab is listed as an individual Shopify variant with its own photo set. Customers browse slabs, request a hold on a specific block, and get 36 hours to confirm before the hold expires and the slab re-lists.

The flow.

4 stages from first touch to closed loop. The system runs this path autonomously; the operator only sees the result at the end.

What the theme would not hold.

atural stone is inherently variable — two slabs of the same material can look entirely different. Selling marble by the square foot without showing the actual slab is a return waiting to happen. Brands that show individual slabs see higher AOV and dramatically lower return rates for slab-level products.

How it is actually built.

The stack is on the bench, the wiring is documented, and the instance you ship with is yours to extend after handover.

Each slab is a Shopify product variant with a custom metafield schema (block number, vein pattern, dimensions, quarry). Hold logic managed by Shopify Flow (timer trigger → hold expiry → re-enable inventory). Slab gallery component fetches and renders variant media.
