The Plone Themes web store was built on LFS, an open-source e-commerce solution. LFS is based on widely-used software: Python, Django, and jQuery. It’s free, easy to use, secure, and fast. With LFS you can easily create your own fully-customized site, using secure, reliable e-commerce technology. Building on LFS means building your own e-commerce site, with your own brand. You decide on the look, style, and features for your site.
Responsive Diazo Theme
It’s very important when building the e-commerce website to craft customer experience. Today's consumers are constantly connected, moving from a smartphone, to a computer, to TV, to tablet, back to the smartphone. They may be moving from device to device but their intentions don't change. And regardless of which device they use or how they move across the device spectrum, they expect you to deliver a consistent, seamless experience. Following Diazo practice Quintagroup developed a responsive theme - Quintagroup customized and branded every step of its customers' experience—from the homepage to the product pages to the shopping cart.
Custom Carousel slider
LFS lets you create a storefront that showcases your products exactly how you want. Quintagroup chose to display its Plone themes in a carousel. The home page features a custom carousel slider with all the Plone themes available. It’s a circular, responsive carousel extension, built using the jQuery library. The carousel slider can scroll items automatically rotating them every few seconds or by user interaction.
Custom Checkout
Many sellers increase conversion by letting customers pay with the payment system they are already using (PayPal, Amazon). Others prefer to brand their checkout as their own. Quintagroup chose LFS as it allows either choice. It’s prepared for payment via cash on delivery, bank account, PayPal and credit card. This e-commerce solution is flexible enough to allow a pluggable backend.
