More than an online shop: How to generate revenue in e-commerce

Some companies wonder whether it makes sense to operate their own webshop. With CMS platforms like Shopify or WooCommerce, creating a webshop is relatively straightforward. However, the devil is in the details. Most companies don’t want to spend significant time each month keeping their webshop up to date. As a result, webshops often leave a bitter aftertaste, and instead of increasing revenue, they frequently raise administrative costs.

What’s the point of having a beautifully designed shop if maintaining it requires so much effort? Of course, it always depends on the needs of the operator, but we have found that automation plays a crucial role for many clients.

In our latest project, we tackled this challenge by designing a system that operates in the background, automatically processes and updates data, and transmits it to the webshop. This minimizes maintenance effort, reduces costs, and maximizes revenue and profit. A true win-win!

PrestaShop: The best system for your e-commerce solution

The headline is, of course, exaggerated! There is no one-size-fits-all solution—the choice depends on many factors. However, if efficiency is your guiding principle, PrestaShop is an excellent option! Why? Because it offers a wide range of features that can become quite costly with alternative e-commerce solutions.

For example, Shopify's B2B version costs over €2,000 per month. To justify such an investment, you need a solid revenue base. This is where PrestaShop stands out: we developed a B2B shop that integrates many advanced features of paid webshops —and we did it without additional licensing costs. Additionally, this online store excels in scalability, flexibility, and speed.

  • Access to products restricted to registered users
  • Multilingual capabilities: Automated translations
  • Differentiated pricing by customer segment
  • Multistore: Unique content per URL
  • Intuitive dashboards: Clear overview of sales and performance
  • Expandable modules: Nearly all functions are individually customizable
  • Themes and extensions: Wide selection available
  • ... and many other features

Our journey in creating webshops is far from over. We seek challenges to further expand our experience and offer our clients sustainable solutions that optimize their business processes.

Automation and efficiency for your success

As we mentioned in previous articles, our primary goal has been to automate a significant part of webshop processes to save costs and timeand provide our clients with a sustainable solution. With just a few configuration steps, it's also possible to define price segments for each customer group.

Technical insight: How does our system work?

Our backend system, responsible for automation, is built with a lightweight Java Spring Boot application. Designed based on a hexagonal architecture, it ensures maximum modularity. Shop updates are performed regularly through recurring tasks (Cron Jobs).

Product information, brands, prices, images, inventory, etc., are fetched via an external API. With the integration of the DeepL API, we can automatically translate texts into multiple languages. For instance, if product data is only available in German, we can automatically create a shop available in DE, EN, PT, and FR with high-quality and understandable content!

In short: all basic data is generated in our own domain model and stored in a NoSQL database. It is regularly synchronized via a Cron Job and transmitted to the shop system. This means that every 10 minutes, inventory, prices, translations, text, etc., are updated, ensuring the shop is always up to date.

Putting the customer's needs first; a game piece is placed ahead of the others.

A solution that prioritizes your needs

Customer requirements are always unique, which is why we chose a modular approach in our development. This allows us to adapt our system specifically to your requirements.

Products can be added via various external data sources, such as databases, API endpoints, CSV or Excel files, XML files, or even simple text files. It is also possible to use multiple data sources or manually add products or categories.

We align the workflow—from browsing the shop to completing a purchase—with your needs to provide your customers with an authentic shopping experience.

Whether you need a simple shop, a multistore solution, or a professional B2B shop, we develop the solution that fits your requirements perfectly!
