Folio3 implemented a customized BigCommerce solution for Eco-Products, addressing their unique challenges and enhancing their e-commerce experience. The solution included advanced features and integrations that provided Eco-Products with the flexibility and control they needed to cater to their diverse customer base while streamlining operations.

Building the Solution

Key features and offerings included:

Extensive customization was carried out to allow customers to purchase Eco-Products’ SKUs in varying quantities (single units, packs, or cases), offering a more tailored and flexible purchasing experience.

A private app was developed to manage visibility and control which products specific customer groups could view based on their preferences and requirements. Duplicate categories were created, with products assigned to particular groups for better product targeting.

Integration with ShipperHQ enabled the system to detect state-specific shipping restrictions automatically. If a restricted product was in the cart, customers were prompted with alternative product options to purchase.

A custom solution for different payment terms based on customer groups was implemented. This ensured that customers with specific group memberships could enjoy benefits such as net terms, enhancing the overall customer experience.
