Based in Singapore, Two Of A Kind is an eye care brand that focuses on making eye health uncomplicated, personal, and fun. They sell contact lenses and provide bulk orders of disposable contact lenses on a subscription basis.

Having selected WooCommerce as the platform of their choice, our client Darryn Tan, the founder and CEO reached out to us as he needed help in customizing the subscription of products based on the needs of the customer.

Client Requirements

Since the company has a subscription model for bulk orders, our client, Darryn Tan had the following requirements with the overall goal to optimize the user experience

– Customize the subscription of products to offer pricing based on user selected attributes

– Migrate the old products to the new product bundles model

– Implement custom design to the product pages

Our Solution

Now, as the products have been set up with 3 associated attributes:

– Left Eye Power (27 values) 

– Right Eye Power (27 values)

– Subscription Frequency

  • We provided a custom a-la-carte/subscription product selection page to create multiple sleeve products based on the user’s selection.

  • Price calculation – As there were 27 values each (Left and Right) in the power attribute, the price calculation was complicated too.
