?https://default-value.com/case-studies/israeli-payment-service/ stack: Magento 1 Location: Israel  Industry: Fintech, E-commerce Team composition: 1 project manager, 2 developers, 1 QA, 1 designer Timelines: 1 week PayPlus is an Israeli payment service. The client was part of a company with which we had already cooperated for some time. So inspired by the recommendations of colleagues, he turned to us as experts in Magento to refine the integration moduleSmartPay Plus. His goal was to give the service customers the possibility to make payments through Magento, which the existing unfinished module didn't allow.  Prerequisite The client already had a module on Magento 1. However, it needed to be developed better, so the integration could have been more efficient. Some features didn't work, so the user experience wasn't smooth enough.  Although the project was very short, it had a couple of complications. First of all, it was the peculiarities of the integration of the payment systemit was necessary to ensure the most secure data transfer. In addition, all of the technical documentation was in Hebrew. So we had to translate all documents into English before starting the project. Solution What did such a short project consist of? Investigation Studying the documentation Modifying and refining the module Quality assurance Project delivery Results So, in just one week, we were able to actualize the existing module to the modern standards of Magento, adapting it to the needs of the payment system.

https://default-value.com/case-studies/online-kosher-supermarket/ The client turned to us with a request to adapt the Kosher4U site to modern standards and make a redesign. And Ari's Kosher Wine, in fact, needed to be "resuscitated." The site had been ordered from a third-party developer but had not been brought to release. The client wanted us to develop a new site from scratch and redesign it. Challenge In the case of Kosher4U, the main challenge was the specifics of the store. First of all, the client needed the store to shut down on the Sabbath, and no one could place an order before sunset on Saturday. This required a special timer to be installed.  The customer had an additional sub-store that specialized in products exclusively for Pesach, a major Jewish holiday. How it worked: the customer could switch from the main Kosher4U store to the Pesach store and place an order a month before the start of the holiday week. This could not be done at other times, and we needed to add a timer as well. When you switched from the main Kosher4U store to the Pesach store, all kosher items remained in the cart. But if there were non-kosher products, just those were removed, and this feature only worked one way. If, on the other hand, the customer added items first in the Pesach store and then moved to the main site, the items remained untouched. We needed to design this feature carefully so that the customer would be warned about the products in their cart. This was necessary so that faithful customers would avoid accidentally buying non-kosher products forbidden on Pesach. As for the difficulties at Ari's Kosher Wine, is that the site was on OpenCart. The second difficulty was the peculiarities of wine packaging. The store sells wine in standardized boxes that hold a certain number of bottles, depending on the liter.  Solution Kosher4U: Stabilizing Refinement  Redesign Support Ari's Kosher Wine: Migration from OpenCart to Magento 2 Refinement Design Release Support Read More

Established in 2004, the company offers home delivery throughout the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. The company's ready-to-assemble climbing frames are unique to Selwood and designed with value, safety, fun, and ease of installation in mind.  Prerequisite When Selwood Products came to us, they had multiple sites on Magento 1 and WordPress to work in each region. The data was patchy, and the design of the sites differed from each other. So we needed to unify everything.  Challenge First of all, we had to structure and reconfigure the entire online component of the Selwood Products business, which took a lot of time.  But the most exciting part was something completely different. The client had bought the Detailed Review module from us. What was it for? Let's say one product is available on several sites. And a satisfied customer leaves a review on one of them. This review needed to be automatically duplicated on the other sites where the same product exists.  Solution What stages did the project consist of?   Investigation  Structuring Sites Magento 1Magento 2 migration Module configuration  Redesign  Support Results  We didn't just bring the client's online stores to "order" and structure them. We also developed a brand book to unify the design of all Selwood sites. In addition, we set up the Detailed Review module so that every time a review appeared, the system would check:    whether it was a new review where it should be posted whether the same product was on any other site whether the same review is available under this item on other sites  and many other parameters Developing a system that takes into account so many nuances was challenging and very time-consuming. But it has also brought us valuable new experiences! Our team has developed a really strong relationship with Selwood Products. Read More

https://default-value.com/case-studies/banners-marketplace-development/ Bannerheld had 4 stores on Magento 1 and needed to migrate to Magento 2, increasing the number by 100 sites. They also needed to develop a system for Bannerheld customers to upload their own images for printing. A unique feature of this system was the ability for customers to customize image sizes and formats (or even create their own ones in the online editor) and place an order so that it would go straight to the press room. The project immediately presented several challenges. First of all, it was quite a specific industry. We had to figure out how the system should work and how to implement our solution, taking into account all the needs of the client and his customers. The second challenge was the number of original sites, which were highly customized. Even the company itself didn't fully understand how exactly they worked. We needed to figure out the system and maintain the initial four sites throughout the entire development. The old system needed migration to Magento 2 We conducted a technical review of the project on Magento 1 and made a plan for migration to Magento 2. A huge amount of data was transferred from the old e-shops. In addition, Bannerheld had another goal to become a marketplace for other businesses that deal with printing products. Using Magento 2, we developed a system that collects data from different online stores in one place, processes it, and sends it to the press room. We implemented all critically important and complex features within this part of the project. The finished system can also synchronize product and price data from external stores. Based on different Magento versions, we developed a complex mechanism of working with prices that took into account all possible aspects of the orders: material, print type, size, etc. At the same time, the customer could place orders with different manufacturers at once, and our system automatically sent them notifications, allowing tracking of the status of each order.
