Solidarity e-commerce development

A project that has been very exciting and motivating was the creation of a solidarity eCommerce that covers four countries, using four different languages and three different currencies.

The e-commerce offers a series of UNICEF gift products for UNICEF.

The e-commerce offers a series of UNICEF gift products for charity fundraising (with 10€, UNICEF can provide drinking water to 35 children for a week).

To tackle it we opted for a custom development with PrestaShop, one of the most popular and powerful platforms for eCommerce development in the market. Using PrestaShop, this fully customized online store was created to sell a range of UNICEF gift products with the aim of raising funds for charitable purposes.

These types of projects are extremely important, since, for example, with 10?€, UNICEF can provide drinking water to 35 children for a week.
