Magento 2 Migration and Advanced Functionality Integration
About
Sports Traveler is a leading sports tourism company in the United States. The company specializes in event tickets, hotel rooms, and VIP travel packages across the world. It has been featured in prestigious publications like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, among several others. The client reached out to Brainvire to migrate their website to Magento 2 and integrate several advanced features.
Project Highlights
The client wanted to migrate their website from Magento 1 to Magento 2. In addition to this, they wanted retail eCommerce solutions for their services, including event ticket booking, travel services, travel insurance, discounted airfare, and getting traveler reviews.
The Challenges
- Migration of DataThere was loads of data on the previous website due to multiple categories, sub-categories, products, customers, orders, and payment models.
- The Layout and Content of Sub-category PagesThe Sports Traveler website had multiple sub-category pages in the Magento 1 based site. Their different layout and managing it all from HTML code added to the roadblocks. Additionally, the client managed custom tab options from the category pages’ Admin panel with different blocks assigned.
- Partial PaymentThe client provided two payment options on their website- full and partial payment. In the event of partial payment, a client would have to pay the remaining amount later on. Due to this, there were chances of confusion in this approach.
- Complex Third-Party IntegrationsSome tickets included in the package offered by the client were from third-party ticket providers. Therefore, it was a challenge to integrate and map them with the eCommerce website. Secondly, there was no live chat function to provide a quick solution to client queries.
