•  Social Commerce (Ticketmaster)

•  Personalisation: contextual, specific recommendations

•  Localisation: Click and Collect, same day delivery

Magento.

Open Source Ecommerce. •  Open source, low barrier to entry

Integrating With Magento.

Black Boxes. Retailer: “I just added a new product to our ERP system, why isn’t my product showing up in Magento?”

Agency: “We’ll get back to you”

Hours (days?) of trawling through log files…

Retailer: “Ahem.” Developer: “Oh yes, sorry.”

Developer: “You didn’t define one of the 412 required attributes for the product, so Magento’s API rejected the request

Retailer: “Right.”
