In my role as an E-commerce Specialist, I’ve successfully contributed to the digital landscape with Lumday and WooCommerce WordPress websites, both of which serve as prominent examples in my portfolio.

Challenges Faced:

1. Payment Gateway Integration: Integrating Paystack as the primary payment gateway presented initial challenges. Ensuring a secure and seamless checkout experience demanded meticulous attention to detail.

2. Performance Hiccups: Optimizing website speed posed challenges, especially with varying shipping states affecting different shipping fees. This required a nuanced approach to maintain consistent performance across the platform.

3. Shipping Fee Variability: Navigating the complexities of different shipping fees based on various states created logistical hurdles. Adapting the platform to accurately calculate and display these fees proved to be a multifaceted challenge.

Solutions Implemented:

1. Paystack Integration: Successfully integrated Paystack, enhancing Lumday’s payment processing capabilities. Rigorous testing and collaboration with Paystack support ensured a secure and reliable payment gateway for Lumday customers.
