SolarShop Backoffice
Auroville Energy Products
is an organization that sells equipment for renewable energy to customers all over India. This includes solar panels, batteries, solar chargers, inverters, and all the accessories needed to set up a complete solar energy generating system. Their customers are mainly dealers and installers, but some end-users also buy equipment for their private installations. Dealers can receive discounts if they sign up with their company details and demonstrate sufficient knowledge to become resellers. To help them, Auroville Energy Products provides training for new dealers and their employees.
Implementation
The open-source project
PrestaShop
was used as the basis for
Solar Shop
. A theme and add-on modules were built to customize it. Special attention was given to Search Engine Optimization, including the addition of meta-tags to the theme, allowing Google to scan for product information. This resulted in a perfect score in the Indian Google search results. When Indian customers searched for applicable products, Solar Shop was always the top purchasing option.
I developed a module for payment options and created a custom shipping module that calculates shipping costs based on the weight of the purchased products.
