Business Context

The client, previously running a smaller-scale retail business, sought to scale up operations with a new, robust e-commerce platform. The business model revolves around subscription-based access to an online store, complemented by additional paid features like sales courses and business consultations. With our assistance, the client aimed to expand their reach and capabilities, enhancing the user experience and providing more comprehensive services.

Requirements

The project required automating purchasing processes for users creating online stores, including integrating the PayU payment gateway for single and subscription payments. An essential requirement was the implementation of GraphQL for efficient data handling between services.

Challenges

Significant challenges included integrating the PayU payment gateway to support secure single and recurring payments, implementing GraphQL for efficient data communication, and migrating thousands of users without data loss or service disruption. We managed to overcome all these challenges thanks to good management and a reliable team.

Results

We have successfully created a powerful platform that has greatly expanded the client's business, registering more than 50,000 users and launching more than 10,000 stores. PayU payment system integration has improved transaction reliability and customer satisfaction. We are especially proud of our work on subscription payment features and AI tools that personalize the shopping experience and streamline operations. Through our work on their implementation, we have deepened our technical expertise.
