The Challenges

before-ring

Shipping Calculation base on the regions

The in-place module was not region based. The client wanted to exclude US region from the shipping. Plus client wanted the different shipping charges for different other regions. For some regions like Alaska, the client didn’t want the business to be in.

After studied the in-place module, Brainvire’s experienced developers crafted the region based logic with all the regions configured in the database. Plus, the admin is provided a utility where he/she can add, edit and delete the regions as per the shipping policies.

The Challenges

Integration with Stripe, Sphynx, and UDropship

The client required integration with Stripe for credit cart functioning. Furthermore, Sphynx search functionality was asked for auto fill feature. And, to make shipping process easier, UDropship was also required to be integrated.

The current Magento checkout process was not allowing one step checkout. So a newer system is implemented for one step check out. This was creating issues in Stripe integration. So the experienced developers introduced Cryozonic for seamless integration of Stripe. The developers removed previous searching mechanism and successfully integrated Sphynx. The SKUs based application UDropship was analyzed completely and with extensive testing on various platforms, finally, UDropship was integrated successfully without any error left behind.

Weight and Cost based Shipping Calculation

Some products with kind of SKU series, shipping costs are calculated based on the price of the product. If product price goes above a certain range, the shipping charges gets bigger. Same way for a weight based calculation, if product’s weight goes beyond a limit, charges gets increased.

Having worked in many Magento based shopping applications, Brainvire’s development team developed a configurable module and calculation logic for the exact shipping charges calculation. Admin is given the right to choose calculation preferences for product or product series. Plus, the minimum shipping charges, discount offers, coupons, etc. were also set as configurable along with the pricing calculation. For each preference either cost or weight, the accurate logic was identified and implemented in Magento.

Challenge: Changing format of UPC codes from text to number everywhere in application

The client’s agency loaded the UPC codes in an incorrect format, so in reports, in product details, and in website pages, the larger numbers were being displayed in a wrong manner. Furthermore, a huge number of SKUs were incorrect and needed to be uploaded in order to make website error-free and user-friendly.

Brainvire’s team of excellent developers crafted a utility to upload excel file’s corrected product SKUs and other details to the server. For UPC code format, the developers changed the format to the number. In the entire website code, this format change was implemented and rigorous testing was performed to make it an error-free and corrected application.
