Challenges
Comprehensive E-commerce Development
- The client needed a complete online store, including an admin panel, shopping cart, and secure payment processing system.
Efficient Database Selection
- Given the relatively small volume of data expected, it was crucial to choose a lightweight and fast database that would meet the project’s needs.
Real-Time Inventory Management
- The client was unsure how to display accurate stock levels on the site, requiring a solution that could integrate with their existing ERP system.
Responsive Design and Analytics
- The online store needed to be fully responsive across devices and integrated with analytics tools to track user behavior and site performance.
Solutions Implemented
Custom E-commerce Development
- We built the online store from the ground up, including the development of an admin panel for easy management of products, orders, and customer information. A shopping cart was also integrated, providing a smooth and secure checkout experience.
Stripe Payment Integration
- We integrated Stripe as the payment gateway to ensure secure and reliable transactions for customers. This choice provided the client with a trusted and widely accepted payment solution.
MariaDB for Database Management
- We recommended MariaDB for the project’s database needs, as it is lightweight and fast, making it ideal for handling the smaller data volumes expected by the client.
ERP Integration for Real-Time Inventory
- To address the challenge of displaying accurate stock levels, we integrated the online store with the client’s existing ERP system via API. This ensured that the website always reflected the most up-to-date inventory available for purchase.
Responsive Design and Analytics Integration
- We developed a fully responsive design, ensuring that the online store provided an optimal user experience across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. Additionally, we implemented Google Analytics and Hotjar to give the client valuable insights into user behavior and site performance.
Payment Gateways Integration (Stripe and Payment Systems)
- We integrated Stripe and other payment systems to enable secure and efficient transactions, supporting multiple currencies and various payment methods.
