Customization example

Case 01

Order receiving system for B to B site

We have built a system so that orders received from retail stores and wholesalers via fax and telephone can be processed from WEB.

Synchronize product information on B to C site
Managing suppliers at the manufacturer
File linkage with existing systems
Simplify product search and order processing

Case 02

Purchase with Amazon account
Easy membership registration when guests purchasing

Customizing so that users who have an Amazon account can use the login process, shipping address information, and payment information without having to enter a membership or shipping address on the EC site when purchasing products on the EC site.

Customizing so that users who have not registered as a member on the EC site can register as a member with the information entered.

In both cases, we will lower the barriers to membership registration and purchase, and improve user convenience.

Case 03

Revenue sharing system for B to B to C site

Building a platform that allows multiple sellers to exhibit and sell, and setting up a mechanism to periodically distribute by subtracting the commission set by the platform administrator after subtracting the commission of the payment agency from the purchase price purchased by the buyer.

When the buyer pays the payment directly to the seller, the payment to the platform administrator is prevented from being delayed, and payment can be made without any trouble of the platform administrator.

Case 04

Sales support on EC sites in three languages.

Introducing a mechanism to pay by using Paygent's credit payment on English sites and simplified Chinese sites as well as Japanese sites. At the time of settlement, payment is made in Japanese yen, and the rate is converted to the currency used in each country at the rate at the time of the card company's billing, so the site is set so that the price does not fluctuate due to the daily rate. (It is also possible to respond to rate fluctuations on the site.)

We change the delivery company for delivery to Japan and delivery outside Japan, and also customize it to be able to link with each shipping management system (Yamato Transport B2, Japan Post EMS).

Along with the above, we have also set up e-mail templates and terms of use required for settlement.

Case 05

Correspondence to EC outside the home (convenience store) receipt of Yamato Transport

By linking with the EC outside-home (convenience store) reception service provided by Yamato Transport Co., Ltd., the convenience store can be used at the baggage reception location. You can improve the convenience of receipt and reduce return costs.
(The client needs a contract with Yamato Transport. We currently only accept convenience store receipts.)

Case 06

Expand customer information and deliver newsletters linked with MailChimp

By linking Magento and MailChimp, it is possible to deliver newsletters with MailChimp. In addition, by expanding customer information, reflecting that information in Mailchimp, and conducting customer segments, it is possible to deliver newsletters that are more stabbing to customers.
(Example: gender, handedness, past purchase price)

Case 07

Import the shipping information of the day into the delivery management system and cooperate with the delivery center

Customize output data so that order data can be taken into the existing delivery management system (TMS). In addition, we will customize the input data and enable it to be imported even for the delivery data that gave the delivery number in TMS for each order.
