UrbanEdge E-commerce Success

The Challenge:

• Budget Constraints, Feature Demands: Despite budget limitations, UrbanEdge required an e-commerce website that incorporated multiple advanced features, including multi-payment options, sales promotions, and a user-friendly layout for diverse clothing designs.
• Multi-Country Sales Setup: With plans to expand globally, the website needed to handle international payments and scale efficiently, allowing easy management of different currency formats and shipping processes.
• Diverse Payment Gateways: UrbanEdge wanted to provide multiple payment methods, including UPI integrations for Indian customers, such as PhonePe, Google Pay, and Paytm, as well as credit cards and wallet options.
• Product Categorization and Visibility: The website required clearly defined sections for men’s and women’s clothing, new arrivals, and sale items, ensuring that customers could easily find products. Enhanced visibility on search engines and listing products on Google Shopping were also crucial.
• Customer Engagement and Support: The client sought tools to engage customers via email, provide 24/7 support, offer clear return policies, and ensure the site had easy navigation for adding items to the cart and checking out.

Transformative Solution:

• Cost-Efficient WordPress Development: Utilizing WordPress and WooCommerce, Yechte built a scalable e-commerce platform that remained within budget. LiteSpeed Cache was implemented to optimize site speed, improving user experience and enabling fast browsing, even for international users.
• Multi-Payment Gateway Integration: A seamless checkout process was created, integrating multiple UPI payment methods (PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm) alongside traditional credit cards and wallets. This ensured smooth, secure transactions for both domestic and international customers.
• Enhanced Product Categorization and Promotions: UrbanEdge’s website featured distinct sections for men’s and women’s clothing, new arrivals, and a sale section, all prominently displayed on the homepage. A dedicated news and blog section was also added to keep customers informed and engaged.
• Global Sales Readiness: The platform was developed to handle international payments, multiple currencies, and shipping configurations. This enabled UrbanEdge to easily scale their business as they expanded to new markets.
• Customer Engagement Tools: The website included an email subscription option to notify customers about offers and promotions. WPForms Lite was used to capture leads and support requests. Yechte also added contact numbers, email support details, and clear 30-day return policies, all presented prominently on the homepage.
• Fast and Secure Checkout: With WooCommerce’s integration, the checkout process was streamlined, making it easy for customers to add products to their cart and complete purchases in a few steps. Free delivery for orders over $80 was promoted to enhance customer satisfaction.
• Performance Optimization with LiteSpeed Cache: LiteSpeed Cache was implemented to ensure fast page loading times, enhancing the user experience by reducing bounce rates and supporting the high volume of traffic during sales and promotional periods.
• Reliable Backup and Data Security with WPvivid Backup Plugin: To safeguard against data loss and maintain site integrity, WPvivid Backup Plugin was set up to automate backups, ensuring that the website could be quickly restored in case of an emergency or data breach.
• Data-Driven Decisions with Google Analytics: Google Analytics was integrated to track visitor behavior, conversion rates, and sales trends, providing UrbanEdge with actionable insights to refine marketing strategies and improve customer engagement.
