Full e-Commerce Integration

This beauty product sales site was not designed by me, but I was called in to select and integrate all the software systems for e-commerce: the shopping cart, the payment authorization gateway, the real-time shipping calculations… everything necessary for a customer to add products to the cart, check out with a variety of payment methods, generate packing lists, invoices, receipts, etc.

The shopping cart functionality was provided by the online service, 1shoppingcart.com. This retail sales website has since been moved over to Yahoo Stores, but I have retained working versions of two page redesigns (except the add-to-cart buttons no longer are functional, because they tied into my client’s 1shoppingcart.com account which has been closed.)

At any rate, in anticipation of adding hundreds of products, I engineered a compact page re-design with pop-up windows for product detail and the automatic generation of product pages from a database backend.

Visit a product sales page, laid out according the site designer’s original layout (but  populated from a server database.)

Now visit that same product sales page, but with my  compact page re-design with pop-up windows for product detail, also populated from a server database. (Most of the links in these two example pages are broken, the actual site having been moved, but clicking on any product will still bring up the product detail pop-ups.)

These example pages are running on my own installation of the CMS (Content Management System) ExpressionEngine which interfaces with the server database.
