Crunching Magento
February 5, 2009 by alexanderhayes · 2 Comments
It’s late again and here I am crunching data in the http://shop.edupov.com
We are using Magento for the backend of the shop and it’s a little tricky but once you got your head around how it’s categorized and how it operates it is a smooth CRM of sorts.
I’ve been updating the ‘tags’ feature and beefing out the EDUPOV Terms & Conditions page which is a learning curve in it’s own right. The shop is almost functional…..just need to get the payment gateway working which is always tricky.
A long way from the pedagogy conversation. Kim Flintoff however does articulate the transition well….far better than I’ll ever have time to do so.
We are almost at trading status as a company with the formation of the Board of Directors, some legal jargon and lots of money out the door to register our entity.
I’m looking forward to my lion share of the $1 per fortnight we will bring in as wages over the first 6 months.
It’s bringing out the best in us.
Luckily we’ve grown up analogue & digital.

Chookas Alex! I hope the project goes swimmingly. A challenging time to be venturing into the commercial market… but I’m sure your expertise will serve you well.
Let me know if there’s anything I can do to assist.

Thanks Kim
Great to hear from you. Yes, it’s learning curve and an intersting time to enter the market place but better now than ever.
The POV side of things brings lots together for us all and this could just be the new way to produce re-usable REAL from the field sorts of data thats needed to thwart the economic downturn.
I know where I’m going to be spending my $950 cash bonus
