One of the largest Russian publishing houses specializing in literature for school education
The company already had an online store for individuals, which was integrated with corporate systems: Bookkeeping system and Microsoft Dynamics ERP.
New business development plans required creating an online store for legal entities and public educational institutions. Product range and prices in this store were supposed to be different from the ones on the main site, tier pricing functionality was also needed to be implemented. Another requirement was that users of this site – various companies and organizations – needed a different type of authorization.
In addition to the main task, some issues with the existing repository needed to be solved: code branches required accurate merging as the proper procedure for deploying them to the test and production stages has been violated.
First of all, the repository issue was solved by analyzing each of the code branches and comparing it to static and dynamic (dll) content of deployed solutions on test and production sites.
Second, to complete the main task, ISDK tuned nopCommerce ’multi-store’ functionality. This is an inbuilt feature of all nopCommerce-based shops, which allows to host more than one frontend store on different domains yet manage them all from a single administration panel and have a single database.
Tier prices were also set up. Tier prices allows to offer discounted prices when customers buy bigger amounts of a product. In nopCommerce, it is possible to set up tier prices for different stores and different customer roles.
- A separate virtual store for organizations was set up
- Different price lists were created. The lists contain different prices depending on a client type and role
- Bookkeeping system and Microsoft Dynamics integrations were updated accordingly
