eCommerce Language Options
We can manage the translation process of use-ready translated text provided by our client, for launch and for the rollout of new language sites. The multi-language functionality, like the multi-currency functionality, is available from Lab Lateral's foundation eCommerce Solution, it simply has to be configured for each language you want the website to be presented in. The way the system works is that each language has its own separate channel that can be accurately & individually managed.
eCommerce Currency Options
Our multilingual eCommerce Solution enables you to display your products in local currencies and centrally manage all VAT and tax compliance. The currency system works by setting prices for each product in each currency as this is much tidier than converting the prices on the fly from a base currency using an exchange rate, although this is also an option. Prices are easily changed in the website's back-end system as required when exchange rates fluctuate. Conversion of currency can be done automatically based on factors you input into the system. This can be fully managed for you. The eCommerce system also allows you to add new currencies as the site develops.
Instant shipping calculations provide complete adaptability to assign different delivery providers to different orders, or to set up delivery zones by region, country, weight or size. We can integrate this functionality with your fulfilment partner and your card payment system.
Multilingual eCommerce Website design and menu structures
In addition to the eCommerce element, we ensure that the images and menu structures across the website remain fixed in all languages with just the text being dynamically changed by the system according to language preference. In this way your business can be confident of a unified appearance across all versions of your eCommerce website, whilst minimising the administrative burden.
Back-End eCommerce Administration
The administration system needs to be easy to use in order to control content in different languages. Lab Lateral can build a web solution to suit both your language and currency requirements. You can keep product codes the same across all languages to help manage stock from a central location. We can set up the system on one eCommerce website or deliver multiple eCommerce websites with different content for different countries. The content management system for each language can be clearly separated so that your administrators are able to access the areas which they are responsible for and update their specific information. The content for each eCommerce site can be separated for everything from page title to page description or it can be kept the same with just a seamless translation. As with all our website development solutions, we will tailor the system to your requirements.
If you own multiple brands, whether targeted at the UK or the global market, you may need a multi-channel eCommerce solution to centrally manage your web domains.
