All the features you need when designing an eCommerce website

The system allows the admin to create categories & sub-categories through his back-end panel under which the products will get uploaded. The system allows the admin to create three levels of categories i.e. Root, Main & Sub.

The category structure tree is displayed in the admin panel with the root categories at the top, followed by the main & sub-categories. The admin can create as many additional Main & Sub-categories as needed under the root category.

While creating a new category, the admin needs to define the category name, URL, Category Banner Image & Icon, Commission associate with that category, and other required information.

The system includes pre-created email templates for the default emails, which are to be sent to the buyer automatically thru the panel upon every operation done by admin.

The admin thru his panel can see the list of all the email templates available in the system. The admin can modify the content of every model at any instance of time.

The system allows the admin to modify the email's subject name, the main body of the email, and the reply-to/BCC email address against that template. Besides, the default email templates include the web-stores logo and other store information.

Product attributes are additional characteristics of a product such as Colour, Brand, Size, Gender, etc. This module allows the admin to create attributes and then define the values against the attribute.

Attributes once associated with a product are visible on the website. They are used by the buyer to filer the relevant products during his search.

During the product uploading process, the site-admin can associate these attributes against a product. Once these price defining attributes are associated with a product, the system allows the site-admin to define the product's varying price based on those values of the attribute.

E.g., if the admin is uploading a Shirt with multiple sizes i.e., S, M & L. While adding the product prices, the admin will have an option to define the varying cost of the Shirt based on the sizes i.e., every size might have a different price.

This module allows the store admin to create custom attributes from his panel. He can use these attributes during the process of product uploading.

While uploading a product, the user associates the attributes with the product. These attributes are visible on the website on the category listing page and the product details page. Admin thru his panel can Add/Delete/Modify the custom attributes at any point in time.

Product types are groups of products that share the same set of attributes.

The admin thru his panel has an option to create product types from his admin panel and associate a group of attributes with the same. It helps him during the product uploading process i.e., as the admin selects the product type while uploading a product. Admin can see only the relevant set of attributes that are associated with the selected product type.

This module allows admin to create coupon codes in the system. Admin can create a unique identifier number/codes say BIGSALE10, which he can float, on various websites or in his promotional material to be used by the buyer when making his purchases.

Admin can define a discount percentage over the order amount and restrict a coupon code for its validity period and the number of times it can be used in total or by a user.

For example, admin can create a coupon code BIGSALE10, which is valid from 01-07-2019 to 30-07-2019, offering a 10% discount on order amount and can be used by the first 100 buyers on the website but can be used only once by a buyer.

This module allows the admin to add/edit/modify the portal's static images, like the homepage banner images. Admin using this functionality can add new pictures or delete existing static banner images.

With this process, the full source code of the web pages, i.e., the HTML and the scripts that the server sends to the browser for rendering, is stored in the output cache. So, when a visitor views a page, the server caches the output code in the application memory, and the same page can be seen by the visitor using the cached output until the cache expires. It eventually increases page performance & speed.

We are pre-integrated with almost each payment gateway operational in India. We integrate successfully with major payment gateways in international markets like Paypal, Authorize.net, Paypal, etc. We also assist our clients in signing up with payment gateway providers.

This module allows the admin to inform/showcase the latest offers to the buyers to boost sales and increase the revenues.

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) shortens the path in which information has to travel between the server and the end-user. A CDN is a network of servers, rather than a single server, with locations in multiple geographic locations. When a user accesses a website, information is fetched from the server location closest to them. It results in a faster flow of data and quick loading of the website’s images, videos & content. We provide a free CDN Network support via Cloudflare.com.

The product is aimed at marketers instead of webmasters and technologists from which the industry of web analytics originally grew. It's the most widely used website statistics service.

The system automatically creates a sitemap in an XML file that lists all the URLs of the website. This Sitemap allows a webmaster to inform Google about URLs of the website that are available for crawling. It enables search engines to crawl the site more efficiently and find URLs that may be isolated from the rest of the site's content.

Responsive website designing is an approach that makes web pages display well on a variety of devices, windows, browsers, or screen sizes. When a website is responsive, the design layout and the content adapts the size of the screen. A responsive website automatically changes to fit the device you’re reading it on. We follow the responsive website design approach, and all our designs are cross-device & cross-browser compatible.

Canonical URLs are essential from an SEO point of view. Canonical URLs are the search engine friendly URLs that represents the master copy of a page.

While adding a single product, the user has to fill in the complete product details like the product description, display categories, attribute set- colours, sizes, brands etc., MRP & Selling prices, and images of the product. Once the complete information is added and the product listing is submitted, the listed product is sent to the admin for his approvals. Post approvals, the product is taken live and is displayed on the website frontend.

The system is capable of automatically managing the product inventory as uploaded by the site-admin. During the product upload, if the admin updated say ‘X’ inventory against product, the system will automatically keep on decreasing the available quantity of the products as and when an order of the same product is placed by the buyer. In case an order is returned back, the system will automatically increase the inventory with the returned quantity of the product.

This module allows the admin to preview the list of all the products associated with his account upon a single click in his panel. On the display window, he can see the current Meta Title/ Meta Keyword & Meta Description & unique URL of all the uploaded products and the same can be updated from the same display page quickly.

On the display window, he can see the current inventory & pricing of all the products associated with his account and the same can be updated from the same display page quickly

The site-admin from his panel has an option to create product combos. To create a product combo, the admin will have to select two products which are already listed in his product catalog.

As the products are selected, the system asks the admin to enter the selling price for the combo (which is usually a discounted price). Upon submitting the product combo, it will be available for the buyers on the website for purchases.

These product combos will be displayed on the product details page in a carousel.

To make a purchase thru the portal, a buyer needs to be a registered user on the website. For registration, a buyer can use any of the below listed 4 options:

• He can either register on the website using his email id.
• Or, he can register on the website using his mobile number.
• Or, he can use his social media accounts to create his account.
• Or, he he can make a purchase from the website as a guest user without registering.

The system allows the buyer to quickly register & login to his account without going thru the actual registration process. Using this module, the users can skip the Email/Mobile number based registration process and quickly login thru their social media accounts (Facebook/Gmail). On the login page, the social media icons are displayed clicking on which the modules will auto-capture the buyer’s personal information from his selected social media account like email address and password (if he has already logged in that social network). If not, the module only requires his email address and password to complete the signup & login process.

Furthermore, the user can also add new addresses directly during the checkout page. In this way the user, can manage the Billing & Shipping Address before placing an order. The saved addresses can be managed by the user via ‘My Account’ Page.

With the email address based user registration, the user while creating his account is asked to enter his valid email address and a password to create his account. After the user inputs are submitted, the system proceeds ahead with the user’s self-validation of his contact details by sending in a validation link on the buyer’s email address. The buyer needs to self validate the link shared on his email address to get his account created.

With the mobile number based user registration, the user while creating his account on the portal is asked to enter his valid mobile number which at later stages will be used for login by the buyer. As the user inputs his mobile number and submits the same, the system sends an OTP (One Time Password) on the buyer’s mobile number for self validation. As the buyer enters the OTP in the system, the mobile number is validated and the system asks the buyer to create a login-password for his account. Now, the mobile number along with the login-password can be used by the buyer to login to his account.

Now, since the buyer’s account is created on the portal with the email address as the default mode of login, the buyer can use his registered email address along with his password to login to his account for placing new orders and check the status of his previous orders.

At this point the system also creates return shipping labels automatically.

We currently have a tie-up with various logistic partner available nationally & internationally where-in we have done a seamless integration of their system API’s with ours system. This seamless integration allows the seller to process an order thru his panel. As the order is confirmed, the system fetches the AWB number on the spot from the Service Provider’s API’s which is shared directly with the customer. Against the AWB number created, a delivery / pickup is automatically scheduled at the logistic partner’s end.

As an order is processed by the seller, the system automatically generates the packing slips and the invoices against that order which can be printed by the seller for the order delivery. The packing slip contains all the information required for the delivery of the product.
