This project is an excellent example of e-commerce website for selling Contact Lenses online in UK. Its a Database driven ecommerce website for selling Contact Lenses Online. Like other online businesses, this website also wanted to increase their online sales. Medma Infomatix was approached to build a start-up e-commerce website capable of engaging in the sale of optical-lenses, glasses and sun glasses. We worked with them to increase sales and providing them the best Magento Development Services.

 

Client

 

This was established as a direct supplier of replacement contact lenses in UK. This online store retails over 10,000 eyeware products including Accessories, Glasses, Sun-glasses of different brands such as Acuvue, Air Optix, Aura, Biofinity, Proclear and many more.

What was the problem?

 

In order to create a Magento store that sells contact lenses, the challenge was first to develop and integrate a functionality that enables providing custom options for grouped products in Magento. The whole site had to be designed in a way that customers can select different parameters and attributes for each (left & right) eye while purchasing lenses. Also providing discounts to customers on the basis of product quantities was a challenge.
But obviously designing contact lens selling website in Magento is not as easy as it looks. We started off by using configurable product in Magento but very soon we had to discard it due to its limitations. We tried Group products but that too was not workable. Ultimately, we had to write our own custom plugin in Magento for selling contact lenses online.

Purpose

 

Using this website, the customers in UK can buy Contact lenses, glasses, sun-glesses and other accessories online and can get it delivered at their place. They can search lenses for different brands and specificatons and can place their orders by using their credit cards. The main purpose is to supply optical products at affordable prices directly to the customer in the most convenient and professional way while offering fast and friendly service.
