E-commerce Store Development Case Study

E-commerce Store Development Case Study.

Csika is a Nigerian e-commerce brand offering fashion and lifestyle products, including cufflinks and home essentials. The client needed a professional online store to launch their brand, showcase products, and run promotional campaigns.

My Role

I was responsible for the end-to-end development and optimization of the online store, including:

  • Designing and building a modern, responsive storefront.

  • Structuring product categories and uploading product listings.

  • Integrating secure payment gateways and order management system.

  • Optimizing the site for speed, mobile use, and SEO visibility.

  • Setting up marketing tools such as Facebook Pixel and catalog integration.

Tools & Technologies

  • Platform: WooCommerce (WordPress)

  • Marketing: Meta Business Suite, SEO plugins, Google Analytics

  • Integrations: Payment gateway, shipping & logistics plugins

Inventory Chaos

When launching, the client faced major difficulties managing inventory — updating product prices, stock levels, and running discount campaigns required time-consuming manual edits within WooCommerce.

This created confusion and slowed down operations.

Inventory Management is one of the major challenges for e-commerce store owners. Some uses paid platform to strealine investory management.

To keep things simple and simplify inventory management, I built a custom Google Sheets integration that connected directly with WooCommerce.

  • Client can export all inventory into Google Sheets with a single click.

  • Make quick edits (update prices, stock levels, discounts).

  • Re-upload changes back to WooCommerce instantly — no manual entry needed.

  • Reduced human error and saved hours of work.

Tools Used

  • WooCommerce API

  • Google Sheets Automation (Apps Script / Plugin)

  • Webhooks
