How we did it? 

1. Our first step was to understand the client requirements and evaluate the current theme architecture. Understanding their need for a better, modern, and responsive website we have upgraded the theme architecture for them. 

2. Features that enable greater freedom and customization of the structure and content of an ecommerce store include the file picker in meta fields, new meta fields integration, and liquid input settings. 

• In a Shopify store, meta fields are optional personalized fields that can be added to products, collections, and orders. With our new meta field's integration, Nicobar used meta fields to create more customized content, such as additional product details, pricing information, and shipping options. 

• It is simpler to manage and display these files within the store thanks to the file picker in meta fields, which enables store owners to upload and manage files like images, documents, and videos directly within the meta fields. 

•  The ability to alter the store's layout and design using the Shopify Liquid programming language is referred to as liquid input settings. This gives store owners the ability to add or change features and content, such as altering the appearance of product pages or developing new page templates. 

• These features have provided greater flexibility and control over the content and structure of Nicobar, making it easier for them to create a unique and engaging shopping experience for customers. 

3. Collection and search filtering tools, Shopify search and discovery apps can assist customers of Nicobar to find the products they need more rapidly and effortlessly, leading to a better shopping experience and higher customer satisfaction. 

4. Geolocation based content show means the ability of a website or app to display content based on the physical location of the user. This means that the content displayed to a user may vary depending on their location, as determined by their IP address or other location-based technologies. This geolocation-based content show has helped Nicobar provide a more relevant and personalized experience to their users, which has led to increased engagement and conversions. We have used API for geolocation tagging. 

5. Translation language in labels has allowed Nicobar to display the same content to all users, but with labels translated to their preferred language. 

6. Block type refers to the visual layout or structure of the block, such as a block of text or an image gallery. The limit could be in place to ensure that the content within the block is visually consistent and fits within the overall design of the Nicobar website. 

7. Google One Touch Sign In is a streamlined authentication method developed by Google that allows users to check in to websites and apps quickly and easily using their Google account. With Google One Tap Sign In, users can skip the traditional login user registration and instead sign in with a single tap or click. 

a. Pin code-based delivery helps customers for express delivery by entering their pin codes and checking out.  

 

8. We have created a Voyager membership program for Nicobar. 

 

9. Nicobar’s country switcher function enables visitors to move between various regional versions of the site according to their location. 

10. Nico Radio. It is integrated with Shopify by creating a curated playlist. 

 Technologies Utilized
