Challenges

Product Color Variants

• Many products are available in multiple colors and users can select a particular color to view the product in that color.

• Integrating color-based product display in Let's Buy was the main challenge.

• Required a custom plugin to map images to specific color options.

Real-Time Parcel Tracking

• Multiple third party integrations were needed for parcel tracking.

• Real time tracking of parcels across multiple delivery companies was complex.

• Showing tracking data from different carriers in a single system was a challenge.

Zendesk for React Native

• App's main aim was to provide the best customer services by integrating Zendesk.

• Zendesk does not provide SDKs for React-native framework applications.

• A custom framework had to be built for the same.

RTL Language Support

• Client wanted the app and websites to support RTL layout.
