Project Summary

Incora developed PHP plug-ins for standard e-commerce platforms (Magento 1/2, PrestaShop, and WooCommerce) to integrate merchants with the client's Ruby on Rails shipping API. Over 150 online shops use the plug-ins, each processing hundreds of shipments, and the client reported high quality and reliable delivery from Incora's developer. Development was managed in weekly sprints with Jira and included ongoing enhancements.

Key Challenges

Need for plug-ins for PHP-based e-commerce platforms (WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop)
Integrate those plug-ins with a Ruby on Rails backend via API

Project Deliverables

Plug-ins for WooCommerce, Magento 1/2, and PrestaShop
API key integration for merchants to configure shipping services
Checkout shipping options and exact cost display for customers
Admin order-page shipping label generation
Email confirmations for customers

Project Solution

Incora provided a dedicated programmer who developed and maintained PHP plug-ins for Magento 1, Magento 2, and PrestaShop (and supported WooCommerce stores). The plug-ins connect merchants to the client's Ruby on Rails API via API keys, exposing selectable shipping services and exact shipping costs at checkout, and enabling store operators to generate shipping labels from the order page. Development was organized in weekly sprints using Jira, with weekly oversight from the vendor's co‑founder.

Project Outcome

Over 150 online shops using the plug-ins, each processing 300–500 shipments
Plugin reduced complexity for store admins and received positive customer feedback
Weekly sprints were completed on time about 90% of the time and deliverables were high quality
