Bauer Media Group

Online store platform for subscription store with Magento 2

Overview

Logo von Bauer Media Group

Bauer Media Group is a multi-business company that entertains, informs and serves over 200 million people. Now in its 5th generation of family ownership, the company is focused on its customers and long-term success. Its four divisions - Publishing, Audio, Online Comparison Platforms and SME Services - operate in 13 countries.

Task

The Bauer Media Group commissioned atlantis dx to create an online store for the sale of magazine subscriptions based on a standard store system.
The online store should enable the customer to select a magazine subscription with a matching premium or a matching magazine subscription for a desired premium. Both paper magazines and subscriptions to e-paper editions can be ordered.

Solution approach

First, the requirements for the online store and its integration into the Bauer system landscape were analyzed in a conceptual phase. Various store systems were considered and Magento 2 was selected as the store system.

Implementation

Magento provided a perfect basis in the standard functional scope. In addition, the extensive special requirements of the Bauer Media Group for the subscription store could be implemented very well individually due to the excellent expandability of Magento.

Design

The store layout was individually designed by the Bauer Media Group based on the Magento 2 standard template and adapted to the existing design of the existing subscription store. This layout was implemented responsively for the mobile version.

Subscription function

As a special functionality, atlantis dx developed a separate type of product that serves as a bracket between the possible combinations of magazines and associated premiums. After selecting a magazine, customers can see which rewards are available to them when they take out a subscription. Alternatively, the customer first selects a desired reward and then a suitable magazine subscription for which the reward has been offered. Customers then go through the checkout process.
