Frequently Asked Questions
Everything merchants ask us about the TPS Engagement Ring Builder — setup, diamonds, pricing, customization and support.
Getting Started 5 questions
Installation, requirements and first-time setup.
What is the TPS Engagement Ring Builder?+
A Shopify app that adds a guided, 3-step ring customization experience to your storefront: Choose Setting → Choose Diamond → Complete Ring. Shoppers browse 98,000+ certified natural and lab-grown diamonds with IGI/GIA certificates and 360° videos, pair them with your settings, and check out — all without leaving your store.
How long does setup take?+
Most stores are live within a day. Install the app, connect your diamond feed (a demo feed is pre-connected so you can test immediately), map your ring settings, and enable the builder through the theme editor. Our team assists with onboarding on all paid plans.
Which Shopify plans and themes are supported?+
The app works with all standard Shopify plans and any Online Store 2.0 theme via theme app extensions — no manual code editing of your theme is required. If you use a heavily customized or legacy theme, contact us and we'll verify compatibility before you subscribe.
Do I need technical or coding skills to use the app?+
No. Supplier connection, markup rules, filters and page content are all managed from a visual admin. For anything beyond the built-in options, our team offers paid customization — see the Add-on Plans page.
Can I try the app before paying?+
Yes. The free demo plan lets you install the app, explore the full admin, and run the complete builder flow using demo diamond data — no charge until you upgrade to a paid plan.
Diamonds & Suppliers 6 questions
Inventory feeds, certification, markup and lab-grown support.
Where do the diamonds come from? Do I upload them myself?+
No manual uploads. The app connects to a live supplier feed, so certified diamond listings, prices, images and 360° videos stay up to date automatically. You only manage your ring settings as regular Shopify products.
Which diamond suppliers can I connect?+
Every plan includes one supplier integration — the TPS demo feed for evaluation, or your primary supplier configured during onboarding. Additional integrations are available as add-on packages, including:
- Nivoda, RapNet, IDEX, VDB and other marketplace feeds
- Your own inventory via CSV/API feed
- Multiple suppliers combined into one searchable storefront listing
Are lab-grown diamonds supported?+
Yes. Natural and lab-grown stones are both supported, clearly labelled, and shoppers can filter by type — subject to your connected supplier's inventory.
Can I control the retail price / markup on diamonds?+
Yes. You define markup rules over the supplier feed price (flat or tiered), so shoppers always see your retail price. Multi-currency display is handled through Shopify Markets.
Are the diamonds certified?+
Diamonds in the feed carry IGI or GIA certification, with certificate badges shown on listings and grading details available to shoppers before purchase.
What filters can shoppers use to find a diamond?+
17+ storefront filters, including shape, carat, cut, color, clarity, certification, price range, polish, symmetry and fluorescence. Shape compatibility syncs automatically with the selected ring setting, so shoppers only see diamonds that fit.
Builder & Checkout 5 questions
How the 3-step flow, cart and orders work.
How does the 3-step builder flow work?+
Shoppers move through Choose Setting → Choose Diamond → Complete Ring. They can start from either a setting or a diamond, review the completed ring with combined pricing, select a ring size, and add it to cart. Built-in 4Cs education pages help first-time buyers choose confidently.
What happens in my store when a shopper completes a ring?+
The app auto-creates the final ring product via the Shopify Admin API and stores it in a hidden collection, so your catalog stays clean. The order appears in Shopify like any other, with the setting and diamond details captured for fulfilment.
Does checkout use my normal Shopify checkout?+
Yes — your existing payment gateways, taxes, discounts and shipping settings all apply. There's no external checkout or redirect.
Can settings and diamonds have separate shipping timelines?+
Yes. The app supports separate shipping/delivery timelines for the setting and the diamond, communicated to the shopper so expectations are set correctly for made-to-order rings.
Does the builder work in multiple languages and currencies?+
Yes, via Shopify Markets — storefront labels can be translated and prices displayed in the shopper's local currency.
Customization 4 questions
Design, layout and functional changes beyond the defaults.
Will the builder match my store's branding?+
Out of the box, the builder inherits your theme's fonts and base styles, and the admin lets you adjust colors, labels and layout options. For pixel-perfect brand alignment, our design customization packages cover fully bespoke styling.
Can I request custom features or workflow changes?+
Yes. Common requests include custom filters, engraving fields, additional builder steps (e.g. pendant or earring flows), B2B pricing logic and CRM integrations. These are scoped and delivered as paid customization work — start with the Custom plan request form.
Can I combine multiple suppliers into one diamond listing?+
Yes — with a multi-supplier add-on package, feeds are merged into a single searchable listing with per-supplier markup rules, de-duplication and unified filtering.
Do you build other jewelry configurators too?+
Yes. TransPacific Software also offers Melee Diamonds, Pendant Builder and Earring Builder apps, and can build custom configurators for other jewelry categories on request.
Plans & Billing 4 questions
Subscriptions, add-ons and upgrades.
How is the app priced?+
The app is a monthly Shopify subscription with tiered plans, starting with a free demo plan. Billing is handled securely through Shopify — it appears on your regular Shopify invoice, and you can upgrade, downgrade or cancel anytime from the admin.
What do the add-on packages cover?+
Add-ons cover work beyond the standard app: additional supplier integrations, multi-supplier merging, bespoke design, and custom feature development. They're packaged with transparent one-time and monthly components — see Add-on Plans.
Are there any commissions or per-sale fees?+
No. We don't take a commission on your sales. You pay only the subscription plus any add-on packages you choose.
What happens to my data if I uninstall?+
Your ring setting products remain in your store (they're normal Shopify products). Hidden auto-created ring products can be cleaned up on request, and app data is removed in line with Shopify's data privacy requirements.
Support 3 questions
Getting help when you need it.
