ShoeMuch's Requirements
ShoeMuch wanted to build a highly scalable and accommodative marketplace website that could host its assortment of Men's, women's and Kids shoes falling under 50+ categories. The online business needed a seller merging system that could encourage top shoe designers and shoe retailers to tie up and diversify the range of products offered under the brand name ShoeMuch.
The Challenge
Contus had to come up with a customized solution for the ecommerce business to overcome compatibility issues as the owners preferred their custom-designed theme as the cosmetic base to build their online marketplace store.
Accommodating seller login and providing appropriate backend provisions for sellers to manage products and orders was a bit challenging owing to additional requirements dictated by ShoeMuch.
Additionally, Contus had to simplify the whole checkout process in order to provide a zippy shopping cart experience for customers.
Contus' Solutions
Contus came up with the idea of leveraging its readymade multi-vendor software 'Marketplace' as it is built with adaptive scalability, cloud compatibility and flexibility to accommodate any level of customizations.
As ShoeMuch was specific in using a custom-built theme, Contus' PHP experts performed coding restructuring to create a fluidic compatibility between the Marketplace software and the custom theme.
For sellers, Contus' development team came up an easy-to-use login system and an exclusive administration panel for each sellers to handle order processing, inventory, customer information, product information, product listing etc.,
ShoeMuch's shopping cart was spruced up by confining the checkout process to a single page. Using Ajax, the loading time was trimmed down to the bare minimum which provided customers a friendly and faster checkout experience.
