Development of a Headless E-commerce Platform for Digital News Subscription and Merchandise

As a growing SME in the News & Journalism industry, we aim to revolutionize our digital sales strategy by launching a state-of-the-art headless e-commerce platform. This project involves developing a highly interactive online store that will not only offer digital news subscriptions but also sell branded merchandise. Our objective is to create an engaging customer journey through personalized content delivery and social commerce capabilities. The platform will need integration with existing content management systems like Contentful and payment gateways such as Stripe and PayPal for smooth transaction processes. Additionally, implementing AI-driven personalization with Algolia for search optimization and Shopify Plus for robust e-commerce infrastructure is essential. The project should explore the potential of augmented reality try-on for merchandise, enhancing user interaction and conversion rates. The platform should be scalable and flexible, ensuring seamless operations across various devices and channels, with a focus on improving customer retention and increasing revenue through diversified offerings.
