About the Client
Strumpf Boutique is a modern online store from Switzerland that sells high-quality tights, stockings, and underwear. The clients can choose between a wide range of assortment – from classic models to more modern, patterned ones.
The Challenge
Strumpf Boutique contacted us to migrate their Magento 1-based store to Magento 2.x. One of the main reasons why the brand decided to migrate was a problem with managing the back-end. Moreover, using the Magento 1 version, officially unsupported by Adobe, exposed the store to serious security problems resulting from, for example, the lack of official patches.
The Goal
Our goal was the improvement of the store’s performance and its back-end. We also wanted to increase the website’s security so that neither store customers nor administrators would have to worry about possible data leaks. To achieve this, it was necessary to migrate the store to Magento 2.
The Solution
As part of the migration, we transferred all data from the previous store, including information about customers, orders, products, categories, and configuration data (e.g. information about taxes or language version configurations.) What else?
- We wrote several custom modules from scratch,
- we created a graphic design for the new store and implemented it on the platform,
- we introduced additional changes to improve the store’s functionality from the user’s perspective.
Solution Details
Integration with PostFinance
Strumpf Boutique leads sales primarily in Switzerland. Thus, we integrated the online store with one of the most popular payment systems in this country – PostFinance. As a result, users can quickly finalize the transactions using the most convenient payment method.
Integration with Intrum API
Integration with Intrum allows checking if the user, who wants to finalize the transaction, is in a debtors’ ledger. Based on the given personal data, the tool verifies the user. It sets him an appropriate status. Depending on the outcome, the payment methods available for this user display, e.g., deferred payment. Module’s modification to suit the One Step Checkout option was the main challenge for our development team.
One Step Checkout
We implemented the One Step Checkout to maximally shorten and ease the purchase process. All the steps are visible within one page. As a result, the user can see the entire process and know whether he filled in all the obligatory data or not.
The invoice system
We implemented the invoices system, which generates different invoices depending on the chosen payment method. Then, the program automatically sends it to the customer.
The Effects
We successfully migrated our client’s online store
We improved the website’s performance thanks to several custom solutions. The clients can easily place orders and administrators can manage the assortment. What effects did we achieve?
