Case study

An online store that shares one system with the back office.

A health and wellness retailer needed its website and online store to run on the same products, stock and orders as its accounting, with accurate shipping costs at checkout.

The situation

What the business needed

The retailer sells online and wanted one system behind the website, the store, stock and accounting, so a product, a price or an order only ever had to be entered once.

  • Product options chosen on one product page instead of separate listings.
  • Stock and orders that match the accounting, without retyping.
  • Shipping costs calculated at checkout from live carrier rates.
  • A simple way to send a customer a link to pay.
  • Sales reports that come straight from the orders.

At a glance

What we built

One store, one back office

One catalogue

The website, store, stock and accounting share the same products, prices and orders. A change made once shows everywhere.

Product options

Customers choose the option they want on one product page instead of hunting through separate listings.

Orders and accounting together

Each order flows into invoicing and accounting in the same system, so sales figures and the books come from the same records.

Live shipping rates

Carrier rates are calculated at checkout from the order, so customers see the real shipping cost before they pay.

Payment links

Staff can send a customer a secure link to pay for an order or an invoice.

Built around the business

Where the standard apps fell short, we added custom features to the same system instead of bolting on a separate tool.

How we keep it right

Product pages kept complete

When the product range changes, the product pages are updated in the same change, so nothing for sale is left without its details.

A copy before bulk changes

Before we change products in bulk, we save a copy of the product data so the change can be undone.
