Software Solutions for Mirror Sellers
Mirrors are heavy, large and easily broken, and buyers choose by shape, frame and wall space. Sellers online need exact packed sizes, freight rules for big pieces, breakage claims and, for lit or smart mirrors, electrical details and a warranty record.
Sell glass that arrives uncracked, in the size and shape the room needs.
A round mirror and a full-length mirror are both mirrors, but one fits a courier box and the other needs a crate. Which of the two applies should be clear before the buyer pays.
Décor stores with a web range
A store lists a few dozen mirrors and ships standard sizes by courier.
Glass workshops
A workshop cuts and frames mirrors to a customer’s size and delivers locally.
Brands with lit and smart mirrors
A brand sells bathroom and vanity mirrors with lights, demisters or touch controls.
The workflow for mirrors.
- 1
Listing with true dimensions
Height, width, thickness and weight are entered for the mirror and again for the crate or box.
- 2
Shape, frame and size chosen
A shopper picks a shape, a frame colour and a size from the options available for that design.
- 3
Cut-to-size quotation
A custom size is quoted from the area and edge finish, then approved by the buyer.
- 4
Crating and carrier choice
Large pieces are crated and routed to a freight carrier, while small ones go by parcel.
- 5
Delivery check and claim
The buyer notes damage at delivery and uploads photographs against the order.
The challenges, and what they cost.
What is specific to this trade.
These are requirements we would confirm in discovery. They describe what the solution may need to handle. They are not features that already exist.
- Packed dimensions and freight class for each mirror
- A price rule for custom sizes
- Photograph at dispatch and at delivery
- Warranty terms for mirrors with lights
What we would build for mirrors.
Chosen from the commerce capabilities this business needs, not a list of everything.
Who works in the system, and what each can do.
What it would connect to.
An integration is confirmed only after its API, access and scope are checked. A connection that updates on a schedule is described as scheduled, not real-time.
- Freight and parcel carriers whose booking interfaces prove usable
- Gateway checkout that copes with large basket values
- The shop or workshop stock record, linked within an agreed scope
How the work runs, and what we need from you.
What you provide
- Your size and frame range
- Packed sizes for a sample of pieces
- Your rules for custom cuts and delivery areas
Start with packed sizes
We record how each mirror ships first, because carrier choice and the delivery charge depend on it.
Pilot with standard sizes
Custom cuts follow once standard orders reach buyers whole.
What you receive.
- Packed-size fields and carrier rules
- A cut-to-size quotation form
- A breakage claim flow with photographs
How progress is judged.
Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.
- Breakage claims per hundred orders, against your own history
- Orders re-weighed by the carrier
Selling at home and abroad.
Weight limits and glass handling rules differ between carriers and between countries. Shipping mirrors abroad is often costly, so many sellers deliver within a country first.

Configured implementation
The storefront, option rules and order flows sit on a hosted store platform that is picked once your needs are known. The platform itself is left unnamed. A GullySystem furniture showroom product exists and can hold floor stock where the shop also sells furniture.
Mirrors differ mainly in packed size and freight, which the category catalogue and dispatch rules already handle.

Questions about mirrors e-commerce.
Can a customer order a mirror cut to their own size?
Yes, through a quotation form that prices from the area and edge finish. A person on your side approves it before payment.
Does the software stop breakage?
No. It records packing rules and evidence. Safe packing is done by your crew and the carrier.
Can it install mirrors?
Not by itself. A fitting visit can be booked where you offer one, and the work is done by your fitter.
