Project Spotlight - JJIElectronics.com - Zen Cart

Posted by: Tom Granger

December 12th, 2007

We’ve recently launched JJIElectronics.com new ecommerce website.

About the client.

JJIElectronics is the #1 independent Internet retailer in the USA for sales of XM Satellite Radio, Sirius Satellite Radio & Garmin GPS.

About the project.

The project involved moving JJIElectronics.com off of a hosted ecommerce application and creating a new custom store. The client had grown large enough that they wanted more control over the features their ecommerce storefront would offer.

They also wanted a dynamic template-swapping feature which would allow the entire store to re-sort and re-filter all results by clicking on a tab. This would allow them to present an “XM-only” or “Garmin-only” storefront to their customers as well as aide them in any manufacturer-sponsored promotions or offers where they didn’t want competitive products to show up as well.

We deployed Zen Cart with a number of custom features we built. The template can an AJAX back-end that allows the client to edit each of the sidebars and place in advertising and special offers. A multiple offer-related shipping module takes the default Zen Cart build to a whole new level. We also create an advanced reporting and export feature to tie Zen Cart to Quickbooks better as well as manage sale tax.

The Zen Cart - “Specials by Category” module we designed allows for category-specific specials, featured and “what’s new” in each product channel.
