I&#x27;m constantly impressed with how flexible Notion is and wanted to see how far you can push it.<p>I wanted to create a functional e-commerce site, complete with a searchable product database, recommended collections as well as features like chat support, newsletter and analytics.<p>I picked furniture because I recently had a really hard time buying furniture online I just never know what goes well together. So I built a site where you can browse pre-designed collections of furniture and shop products to recreate the designs yourself<p>The hardest part was actually building the inventory haha, but here are some of the tools I used to build the site.<p>External tools:<p>Fruition: to link my domain, as well as to add scripts like the chatbot and analytics<p>LiveChat: for the chatbot feature<p>Chillipepper: to create an embedded form that adds data to a Notion database<p>MailChimp: to create a newsletter<p>HtmlSave: to add the mail chimp embedded signup form to the page<p>Notion Features<p>Notion Relational Databases: to link the product database and collections database<p>All products are tagged with item type, price, dimensions and url<p>All collections are tagged with room size, style and designer<p>Currently there is no checkout on site. It just links you to the original site. But you can easily add checkout with an embedded Stripe form. Right now the goal is that anyone can submit an inspiration image they find and I will recreate the look with affordable furniture sourced from several retailers. Would love to know what you guys think!
