Migration: Polarn O. Pyret came to 1Digital® in need of a platform that offered them a significantly higher degree of custom functionality than their previous platform could offer them. To create that for them, 1Digital® had to perform a highly involved and precise CSV Migration from their old platform to a newly designed and developed custom BigCommerce store. The migration process covered the relocation of over 18,000 products in more than 300 separate categories to their new store, along with account and profile information for over 70,000 customers. 1Digital® also set up a dashboard for Polarn O. Pyret to track changes to users, products, customers, orders and more.
Custom Design: Polarn O. Pyret needed a comprehensively designed BigCommerce website that offers an in-depth level of custom functionality; for this 1Digital® designed and integrated custom themes for their homepage and About Us page as well as for their product and category pages, along with a number of system and content pages. As a part of their custom design project 1Digital® worked at a high level of functionality at a granular level to improve the experience of their users and capitalize on cross-selling opportunities. For example, 1Digital® made it possible for Polarn O. Pyret to advertise gift wrapping services and other custom messages at the level of the product and cart pages on their website.
Custom Development: In order for this complex design to operate seamlessly once their website had migrated to their new BigCommerce store, 1Digital® had to integrate APIs, develop custom processes and provide for the automation of certain tasks. For example, 1Digital® set up cron jobs to automate synching tasks between BigCommerce and COREsense, which was only made possible by the seamless integration of BigCommerce and COREsense through the MiniBC module that enabled for easy and timely payment processing. This module also enabled the client to remove and create instances, manage, edit, add and delete users and products, and map and sync the flow of information between BigCommerce and COREsense. 1Digital® took this a step further by giving the client the option to perform a manual sync as a redundant safeguard. In addition, 1Digital® customized homepage navigation for the benefit of Polarn’s users, installed Nextopia JS to increase conversions. 1Digital® also created a dashboard for Polarn whereby the client could easily manage and track changes to users, products, customers, orders, settings and other instances to streamline management of the site.
