Complexities in Achieving Fashion’s Resale Goals

Some of the major challenges were as follows while working on this project:

It was hard developing and maintaining the same markup for multiple platforms like Shopify, Magento, Bigcommerce, and Salesforce. Every platform has its own specifications of eCommerce and its particular attributes. It was so difficult to replicate the business logic many times. Data security and performance were also the toughest challenges as it was suspected that on the admin portal, anyone would be able to see each other's data accidentally or intentionally, and generating queries was a total hassle. Image uploading was crucial in this idea as we were using jQuery-uploader initially, custom styling was another challenge, also, this plugin was not supportive with all of the browsers on all devices.

How We Stepped in While Handling Our Clients’ Pain Points?

Besides facing the technical challenges, we were able to resolve the complexities of requirements with ease and flexibility, as follows:

  • We created a Headless Frontend API through which HTML markup was returned in response and using the styles and scripts from CDNs, the markup renderer (in the platform’s connector app) showcased the unified Frontend interface.
  • We developed the wrappers for every single platform. It is imperative to know that each wrapper defines the rules, webhooks, and field mapping, and offers a few customizations to the platform, following the generic API to execute different business operations.
  • We resolved data security and performance issues by data sharding using tenants of PostgreSQL databases which created clusters for each store and hence made searches and queries flexible to manage from the limited set of data instead of the whole database.
  • We built the customized solution to upload images, using HTML, and vanilla JavaScript to avoid conflicts with the store theme along with the support of Node.js and AWS lambda. Also, we used Sharp and Jimp to process the images and store them in the bucket in the form of streams
