Development of a Cosmetics Online Store for a Beauty Salon
About the project:
After we created a website for a beauty salon (you can see it here), the client decided to develop the business further and launch online cosmetics sales. She approached us again, and we were happy to take on the new project.
What needed to be done:
The client needed a full-featured online store with the following capabilities:
- Convenient product catalog with filters and search
- Online payment processing
- Flexible discount and promotional system
- Ability to use discount coupons
- Simple management of products, brands, and promotions
How we solved it:
For creating the online store, we chose Drupal Commerce — a powerful and flexible e-commerce platform. It's perfect for projects that plan to grow and develop.
We integrated Montonio — a popular payment system in Estonia that allows customers to pay for purchases through all local banks. For this, we developed a special integration module.
We set up a discount and promotion system: you can run seasonal sales, promotions on specific products or brands, and create discount coupons for regular customers.
We added product microdata — this helps search engines and AI aggregators like ChatGPT better understand what's being sold in the store. Products become more visible in search results.
After launch, we conducted training: showed how to add new products, manage brands, set up advertising campaigns, and create coupons. The client can now manage the store independently.
What we achieved:
The beauty salon got a modern online store that brings additional revenue. The owner can independently manage the product range, run promotions, and attract customers with discount coupons. And salon clients can now order their favorite cosmetics online without leaving home.
