Abstract:

TechClass has a history of providing practical and trending learning material, providing services to thousands of students over the recent years. TechClass started by providing single online courses in the IT sector to top universities and educational organizations worldwide, then provided learning programs to prepare students for specific job positions. Finally, it mastered the art of content creation by introducing its academies under the TechClass Digital Academy project. In addition to course content development, TechClass continuously improves its online learning tools as the backbone and infrastructure of its business to deliver the services efficiently to the users. In 2021, TechClass decided to separate its eCommerce solution from the core of its Learning Environment and start a partnership with Shopify to integrate Shopify solutions with TechClass LMS. Such collaboration enabled TechClass to focus further on improving the learning experience, and in the meantime, develop outstanding connectivity between Shopify and TechClass ecosystems. Shopify is a prominent e-commerce platform for online stores and retail point-of-sale systems. The Shopify platform offers online retailers a suite of services, including payments, marketing, shipping, and customer engagement tools. In this paper, first, we will discuss the reasons behind facilitating such a partnership. Then, we will present the required steps we had to carry out to enable such integration. Furthermore, we will demonstrate a proof-of-concept of evaluating such integration. Finally, we will discuss the plans for further developing such a partnership.
