Thanks to Adobe Commerce (Magento) and Hyvä

Performance boost for the bosch Tiernahrung online store

bosch Tiernahrung’s online portal now boasts a modern look thanks to the Hyvä theme, while seamlessly integrating its website with its online store. The project centered on re-platforming the pet food supplier’s online presence from Shopware 5 to Magento, leveraging the latter’s advanced features, including hosting in the Adobe Commerce Cloud. Collaborating with the customer’s in-house team, valantic helped bosch Tiernahrung optimize site navigation and introduce new features such as a pet-food advisor. The overall result was a cohesive, modern design that delivers an optimal shopping experience for customers.

Flexible payment options

By integrating PAYONE and PayPal, bosch Tiernahrung customers can choose from a variety of payment methods tailored to their preferences at the online store’s checkout.

Advanced tax logic implementation
