Solution Applied
Understanding the business requirements and taking into account that the client was already considering Magento as the solution for his e-commerce business, we decided to proceed with this platform.
Magento provides powerful capabilities for handling custom multi-channel e-commerce needs.
The Results
- Multistore Setup
- As Fonejoy needed to share a database, but manage product prices differently, we set up Magento to be a multi-store installation where two different stores are represented by independent websites with different domain names.
- The first one – serves retail customers and the second one is created for merchants and bulk purchase to simplify the company’s B2B sales operations.
