The website’s CMS lets Belgocycle easily manage its product catalogue, and:
- Create, copy and update products in minutes
- Add product attributes (dimensions, weight, speed), variants (colors), photos and banners
- Add related or recommended products and product accessories
- Translate website copy into two languages
The ability to efficiently create and manage special campaigns was paramount to Belgocycle, so IDcreation added the following features:
- An advanced price managing system, facilitating the management of promotion codes and prices, including the definition of specific price groups
- The possibility to upload large files with promotion codes for print media campaigns
- Limiting promotions by time
- Discounts in euros or as a percentage of the price, defined at product level
- The ability to offer combined promotions: i.e. order a bike and get a helmet and a bike lock for free
The CMS also integrates advanced order management, including:
- A filterable list of orders, which can be exported to Excel with the click of a button
- The possibility to create and update orders (for example, mark as paid)
- The ability to resend invoices to customers and add credit notes
- The ability to define shipping costs per country or region (i.e. Benelux). A minimum order amount can be specified to qualify for free shipping
- The ability for shoppers to pay for orders online or request payment on credit, which is then sent to а bank and the order is only processed once the bank has approved the request
Third-party solution integrations:
- Online payment platform Mollie, used for payments online and refunds in case of a credit note
- For each promotional campaign Belgocycle can specify which products are eligible for financing
- The order information is sent securely (using https) to BizBike (the provider responsible for product delivery and service), using web services (REST architecture, JSON format)
