Summary
The purpose of the project was to create the eCommerce part of this website. We have integrated a Satchmo Django plugin into the existing platform. The project itself was built without any kind of eCommerce functionality, so that was quite challenging.
Requirements
- Legacy code. The project is old and many developers worked on it.
- Custom requirements. The Satchmo framework we used didn't fit perfectly to the project requirements and we had to customize it. It was quite difficult and required a deep understanding of the framework.
- Timing. Our team had limited resources and time-frames to fulfill the requirements.
- Communication. The client location was Australia which is 7 hours ahead of Ukraine (where our team is located). However, we were able to manage the time zone difference by scheduling regular meetings.
