Case Study: Canvas Republic achieves simple, mobile-friendly custom canvas sales with Shopify

Canvas Republic - Customer Case Study

Canvas Republic, launched in 2019, is a UK-based print shop that creates custom art prints and canvases from customers’ own images. Facing an unwieldy legacy ecommerce platform, they needed a simpler, mobile-first storefront to tap the large market for personalized canvases while continuing to print and fulfill orders in-house.

They relaunched on an existing domain to retain SEO value, used targeted Facebook ads (featuring children to reach parents/grandparents) and optimized the site for mobile to drive conversions. On the back end they use Filepicker for uploads, Receiptful for receipts and a fully custom theme with smart collections; fulfillment and neutral-branded shipping are handled internally. The result: rapid traction from Facebook, growing natural search visibility, and steady mobile-driven sales.
