Brand Artwork Shopping Portal

Used Magento CE as the base for implementing an artist portal which allows them to showcase their artwork for sale. The art work falls into different categories including brand related artwork and can be ordered by customers in a variety of sizes and framing options.

Implemented multi-lingual support and stores to allow for German, US and other users across the world to order artwork. The pricing and shipping rates varied depending on where the order was placed from. Implemented a custom artist portal which allows the artists to view their uploaded artwork and connect with customers that have purchased their art work. The site also implements commission based payments which we calculated and created reports for.

We used memcached to store session data as the site ran on replicated instances to handle traffic. Art Work was also pre-cached into memcached every night which allowed us to serve content directly from memory.
