We provide consulting and bespoke eCommerce packages, based on the open-source 'Interchange' eCommerce application server from the IC Dev Group.
We do a variety of work, for example, we have written a number of custom payment modules which interface between Interchange and a payment service provider. Some of these are: SagePay, Iridium, Moneris, iDeal, PaypalExpress, GoogleCheckout, HSBC to name but a few. Where appropriate, "Verified by Visa / Secure by Mastercard" versions are available.
We have written a number of custom shipping modules, for example ParcelForce, the Royal Mail, Fast Lane International, Interparcel and others.
We have built a number of customised Interchange sites with bespoke features - some examples follow:
NaturalEurope.com provides certified natural cosmetics from Europe to the US market and beyond. This site
uses a number of bespoke functions, for example, the product listing pages have items grouped together
in 'option groups' when they are part of a group of similar items, maybe with the size changing. Other
items are grouped in 'colour groups', eg nail polishes or eye makeup which vary only by the colour. The
flypages for these grouped items display all possible options in a matrix along with the descriptive
text and colour swatches, and use custom Javascript to allow the customer to select a colour or option
and interactively change the descriptive text, main image, pricing and product data, and then purchase
the selected item. Customers can choose AuthorizeNet or Paypal for payment.

Here at BlueTurtleMagic.com is an example of a dropshipping site
using 3 different suppliers in 2 countries and 2 currencies, with custom routines to calculate delivery charges
and target currency amounts depending on the buyer's location.
It also has customised menu and navigation systems to generate pages and handle the variety of products. It handles payment with the choice of either MoneyBookers or Paypal. |
Also different is this charity site. For fundraising they sell tickets online with the tickets being
downloadable, numbered and imprinted with a barcode. It also runs a ticket control system, which removes
tickets from availability temporarily while a purchase is being completed, and then if the purchase is abandoned those
tickets are released back into the pool and marked as avilable for purchase again. A similar "inventory control" can
be used on any items that are in short stock. SMS alerts are also sent
to other ticket sellers on successful purchase. All custom work done within the Interchange engine.

Different again is this Community site in the Dancer framework - they have an events calendar in MySQL with
an RSS/atom feed straight from the calendar, an interactive journey planner for public transport and
Google maps for driving directions. They also have email forms with interactive validation for joining
their mailing list, and user access to edit or delete their own email data.
They have a full admin panel allowing them to update all pages and the calendar database, and administer the mailing list and send emails to the list directly from the site. Running with FastCGI on Apache, but could also use Plack on nginx. |
