E-commerce Gift Shop Update
Description: E-commerce website update enabling Amazon product feed synchronization with our customer’s OpenСart-based online store.
Customer: US private entrepreneur.
Challenge: Our customer sells various goods via multiple online marketplaces. His existing website didn’t perform the way he wanted, so he request us to get an update. The top challenge is that instead of a single database, there were several sales channels. They were communicating with Amazon API, going back to the product feed with updates for the OpenСart. The client had three product feeds, so once something has been sold via Amazon, there should have been an update in the product feed.
Solution: We’ve upgraded the current OpenСart version from 2.0.3.1 to 2.2.00 that made the store work faster. Our team has also came up with suggestions on homepage redesign that were quickly approved and implemented. We’ve also converted the data on products from Amazon into the XML format so it could be automatically parsed from the store directly (excluding the FBA products). To make the uploading process possible, our team developed a class that allowed to add products to the OpenСart as well as uploading info directly from Amazon. All original scripts, functionality and extensions were preserved in the updated version.
Technologies: OpenCart, Amazon API, PHP, MySQL.
