CUSTOM VIRTUAL STORE: THE PERFECT DESIGN

VTEX PLATFORM
The Costume online store was developed using the VTEX e-commerce platform , which has a 100% editable CMS, allowing you to easily and practically create and evolve the design and layout of a store. If it's not the best e-commerce platform on the market, it's certainly among the best.
In addition to the great design, the VTEX platform made it possible to equip Costume's online store with Smartcheckout, which allows customers to buy with just one click and without the need for passwords.
VTEX also allowed the store to have a good virtual cart, registration and login system and a “My Orders” section. E-commerce also has several policies, FAQs and other resources. It integrates Hotjar and WhatsApp form for human assistance service.
