Our Website Design COmpany: CHOOSING SOFTWARE

Analyzing the Limitations of Social Media Platforms (e.g., Elgg)

We initially selected Elgg social media network software as our platform, believing it would meet our needs effectively. However, we encountered several significant limitations, including core updates that consistently overwrote our custom code, causing disruptions and additional work. This led us to explore alternative options, and we turned our attention to WordPress. Unfortunately, while WordPress offered a range of features and flexibility, we faced multiple security challenges that compromised the integrity and safety of our application.

These issues included vulnerabilities to hacking and difficulties in maintaining secure user data. Ultimately, after careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons of various platforms, we opted to develop a fully custom solution. This bespoke approach allowed us to tailor the platform precisely to the specific requirements and unique needs of this web application, ensuring greater control, enhanced security, and a more seamless user experience.

Our Website Design COmpany: THE PROBLEMS

The problems with default solution offer

Magento's multi-shipping feature has two main challenges:

1. Multi-page Checkout: Users face a lengthy process to complete their purchase, which can be slow and tedious. They need to: - Assign an address to each item, which is time-consuming if shipping to multiple locations. - Choose a shipping method for each item, adding complexity with different options and costs. - Review the order to ensure all details are correct, including addresses, shipping methods, and payment information. - Finalize the order, ending the multi-step process but frustrating for users who want a quicker experience.

2. Multiple Orders: Each multi-shipping transaction creates separate orders in the backend, complicating processing and tracking. This can cause several issues: - Higher chance of errors, as managing multiple orders for one transaction can be confusing. - Difficulty in tracking, as managing multiple orders for one customer can be challenging, especially for customer service. - Increased administrative work, as managing multiple orders can strain resources and reduce efficiency.

Our Website Design COmpany: OUR SOLUTION

Introducing Our Advanced Multi-Shipping Solution to Address Common Challenges

Single-page Multi-shipping Checkout: We've combined the multi-shipping checkout into one easy-to-use, AJAX-based page. This makes it simpler for users to choose addresses, shipping methods, payment options, review their order, and place it all on one page.

Single Order Creation: Our system creates one order for all items in a multi-shipping checkout, showing different shipping addresses, costs, taxes, and totals for each item. Admins can make one invoice and assign separate tracking numbers for each shipment, reducing backend work and avoiding multiple orders.

Multiple Recipients: Users can create multiple recipients and send gifts to different addresses. Recipients are saved in the database, so customers can send more gifts to the same people or add new ones.

Shipping Cost: Each recipient has a different shipping cost based on their address.

Our Website Design COmpany: Solution challenges

While initial challenges are inevitable, we address them with unwavering resilience.

We initially faced major issues with our solution. One key problem was the system setting the entire order's address to the order creator's billing address whenever a new recipient was added. This caused confusion and delivery errors. We fixed this by updating the Magento core system to prevent the page from refreshing, ensuring each recipient's address stays correct.

We also addressed errors in shipping cost calculations. The system used to miscalculate costs based on the number of items sent to one recipient, leading to incorrect charges. By improving the shipping cost algorithm, we now ensure accurate costs based on the quantity of items sent. This approach improved address accuracy and made shipping cost estimates more reliable, resulting in a smoother and more customer-friendly ordering process.
