Implementation
The Harper Collins store is a multi-store with multiple sub-shops in one Shopify instance. At the start of the migration from Magento 1 to Shopify Plus, our design team worked closely with the Harper Collins Germany team to create a bespoke design.
We developed a custom Shopify app to synchronise the ONIX product data and create a connection. At the same time, the Zensit, DSB and Readbox interfaces (for reading samples) were connected.
For Harper Collins, we have implemented many of their requested features, such as a personalised wish list, author search, book reviews, and a blogger and press area.
