LIBRARY BOOKSTORE
More than 20,000 products from 16 different sources, in one online store.
PROJECT STUDY16 sources.
20,000+ products.
02 / OVERVIEW
A neighbourhood bookstore with a catalogue of 20,000+.
An online store on Shopify for Library Bookstore in Drosia, Attica. It brings the whole range online: books, stationery, gifts, toys, school supplies and tech. Behind the storefront, a custom middleware gathers the catalogue from 4 APIs and 12 XML sources.
03 / THE CHALLENGE
Sixteen sources. One shelf.
A bookstore with a wide, mixed range needed an online shop where customers can find a title or a school item quickly. The products came from 4 APIs and 12 XML sources, each with its own format, and all of it had to reach one catalogue of more than 20,000 products.
04 / OUR SOLUTION
A custom middleware behind a tailored Shopify store.
We built a custom middleware that fetches from all 16 sources and feeds a single catalogue. On top of it we set up and customised the Shopify store: a category structure for a mixed range, a wishlist, a slide-out cart with free-shipping progress, store pickup next to courier delivery, and a homepage built around the shop’s seasons and offers.
