New Webstore Launching Soon

Frikkie de Beer, Distribution Manager at Southern Cross Educational Enterprise, has shared an update on the upcoming launch of the new webstore.

The webstore has been in development for quite some time, with active promises made over the last nine months. It is now in the final testing phase, with a tentative launch date set for the 3rd of March, subject to successful regional testing.

The new webstore introduces a much-improved user interface and browsing experience. Users will be able to switch between a list view and a larger grid view when viewing products. A persistent shopping basket will remain visible on the right-hand side of the screen, making it easy to keep track of items while navigating through different subjects. Products can be filtered by subject level, such as Level 6, as well as by specific subjects like Bible Reading or Math. Work on the landing page is still ongoing, and product images are being uploaded.

The checkout process has been designed to be quick and easy. After confirming their address, users can choose between normal or express post and add any specific delivery instructions. A payment section will clearly display the total cost breakdown on the left, and users can then enter their card details to complete the purchase. Within their account area, customers will be able to view previous orders and update their addresses. A new “Contact Us” page will also allow users to send messages about specific issues or subjects directly to the organization’s main info email address.

SCEE is now moving into a final testing phase and will be inviting local schools and homeschool families to help with user experience testing. They are seeking feedback to refine and improve the webstore further and are asking for continued support and prayer as they complete the final steps toward launch.
