This work was fun! And not only for the categories of the product offered and the kindness of the customer, but also because it allowed us to go a little further from the standard e-commerce and add a whole freshly developed section .
The agreement with the customer indeed, was not only to have an e-commerce able to manage thousands of different products , different in color, shape, size and category, but also to have the products automatically translated and imported according to the suppliers' catalogs and some basic rules .
So we developed a complete system able to download the product lists (including title, descriptions, images, EAN13 code, product sizes and everything !) from each different supplier, populate a temporary import table , where it is possible to update the prices, change product categories, translate the texts, and then, finally publish in production ! Everything in just two mouse clicks !
The shop is only since early December and after just few weeks it was already giving good profit !
