Online Coffee Shop

The new Punch® Coffee online shop went live today. Check out the site here: Gourmet Coffee Beans Online

Punch Coffee Now Online

The online shop is built using the WordPress WP e-Commerce shopping cart. To achieve the required layout, we used the Add to Cart buttons, and managed images and product descriptions using standard WordPress pages.

Punch® Coffee is shipped in Australia via Express Fulfillment, so for this project James built an integration plugin to connect up the WPEC shopping cart with the warehouse system. The integration plugin synchronises inventory between the warehouse and the online store. Stock levels are routinely updated from the warehouse to reflect stock replenishment, and decremented in real time based on completed sales.

The shop also integrates to the Australia Post shipping calculator for shipping costs.

If you are looking for a distinctive gift then you should check out not just the packaged coffees, but also the Coffee Caddy, Coffee Blending Caddy and Tea Blending Caddy (all in the Premium Collection page).

The shopping cart builds on the excellent work started by ZackDesign.

Here are some examples of the shopping cart in use:
