Custom Map Dealer BigCommerce Theme
Cartographer filters, framing options and designer trade pricing
An interior designer hunting for six framed harbor charts for a hotel lobby shops very differently from the collector who has wanted one particular Ortelius sheet for a decade. Foxco builds a custom map dealer BigCommerce theme for both of them, with custom fields for cartographer, publication date, dimensions, coloring and condition, filters by region, century and subject and framing choices as product options with their own prices. Designers and decorators can apply for a trade customer group with a price list of its own. Each sheet gets several large images, including the verso when it matters. It's $999 installed on your BigCommerce store and configured, less than a nicely colored county map.
Collectors and designers buying from one map room.

Map Dealer theme questions
Is this a template with a map-themed skin?
No. We start from our BigCommerce framework for map and print dealers and build it out with your brand, your inventory and pages for collectors, designers and framing.
How much time does it need?
7-10 days after your logo, images and content reach us. Rush jobs depend on our bandwidth.
Can each framing option change the price?
Yes. Framing, matting and glazing can be product options that adjust the price. Framing calculators based on sheet size can be built as a custom project.
Can designers save pieces to show a client?
Yes. Signed-in customers can keep wish lists and share them, which works well for a designer gathering options for a client presentation. The theme is $999; your BigCommerce plan and any paid apps are billed by BigCommerce and the app makers.
Six harbor charts for a lobby is a project sale and one Ortelius sheet is a collector sale; both are worth chasing and they need different doors into the same inventory. The theme builds those doors without splitting your stock in two.
A trade program for designers
Designers, decorators and hospitality buyers fill out a trade application and once approved they land in a customer group with its own price list. They can browse by subject or region for a theme, save favorites to a wish list for client approval and order several pieces in one checkout, framing included.
Descriptions collectors trust
Cartographer, date, publication, dimensions, coloring and condition sit in custom fields in the same order on every listing. Filters by century, region and mapmaker let a collector browse the way they think and large images show margins, centerfolds and hand color closely enough that a buyer on another continent can make up their mind.
Framing as part of the sale
Foxco sets up framing as product options, from unframed to archival mats with conservation glass, each adding its own price at checkout. Shipping rules can treat flat sheets and framed pieces differently, which keeps a big framed chart from going out at the price of an unframed one.
Old sheets sold by the piece and by the project.
