Online store of interesting goods for the house

Aim

Launch an E-Commerce app simultaneously with the opening of the first stores. To meet the 2.5 months on the first iteration.

The first version of Internet showcase with a map of shops

We used an iterative approach to development: since the time frame was very tight, the first version included the most necessary functionality.

The site design was developed by the MODI team, and we were responsible for layout, technical implementation, and performance support.

We carried out regular integration with 1C for unloading the range and prices.

• We made a separate service for uploading photos because they are not transmitted from 1C. We have written a script that parses photos and uploads them to the desired products, taking into account the desired order of display in the card.
• Hidden products on the site that don't have photos yet.
• We ran through all the products and assigned them the remaining balance because they are not yet registered in the accounting system, and prices for "out of stock" products are not displayed on the site.

Second version: integration with external services, the start of trading

The next iteration included the following large blocks of work:

• Integration with the Kupivip fulfillment service
• Integration with the ExpertSender email marketing system
• Launch of online trading: shopping cart, checkout, personal account
• Adaptive layout

We needed to organize a clear interaction between the site, 1C client, and Kupivip fulfillment.

How everything works:

• We take the range and prices from the client's 1C.
• The site and Kupivip exchange information about balances.
• Kupivip sends real-time information to the site about possible options and delivery costs based on the region that the buyer chooses. It looks like this: on the product page or when placing an order, the customer specifies their city and we immediately show them what delivery options there are and how much they will cost.
• In order to transmit the exact address in Kupivip using ACORF (Address Classifier of the Russian Federation), we enabled hints when entering the address from the data service
  The user can pay for the order upon receipt or using a Bankcard. We have enabled the ChronoPay payment system that Kupivip works with, and we send them information about payments
• The site and Kupivip exchange information about orders (we send them new orders, they send us status changes)

The description looks long and scary, but it all works clearly and quickly, like a watch.

Integration with the ExpertSender email marketing system

To implement email marketing tasks, the client chose the ExpertSender service.

• The site has "traps" for emails — blocks with a subscription to the newsletter, a checkmark for subscribing to the newsletter during registration or placing an order. When a person signs up, we store information about them in ExpertSender.
• For a subscription, MODI gives a promo code with a discount on the first order. We generate a promo code on the site side, and the subscriber receives an email with it via ExpertSender.
• On the product page, there are buttons "Find out about price reduction" and "Find out about receipt". We set up trigger mailings in this way: when updating information about price or availability, we send an API request to ExpertSender. The product name, link to it, and the photo is inserted in the sent email.

About the client

MODI Fun Shop is a chain of unusual goods stores.

The brand appeared in mid-2017 and occupied a niche of stylish lifestyle products. There are home goods, gifts, accessories for parties and offices, toys for adults and children — and hundreds of different emotional and pleasant things.

Our collaboration started in the summer of 2017. The site had to be launched simultaneously with the opening of the first stores, so our part of the work was carried out in parallel with the development of the brand concept: while we were writing technical documentation, we developed the corporate identity on the client-side, formed the assortment, set up the accounting system, etc.
