Preparing Samsung Ireland's Online Store for the Galaxy Z 2026 Launch
The launch of Samsung's 2026 Galaxy Z series foldable smartphones attracted significant attention from customers around the world. To help Samsung Ireland prepare for this event, the osCommerce and Exertis teams worked together on several improvements to the online store.
One of the tasks was enhancing the Flagship functionality, giving the store greater flexibility when promoting newly released premium devices.
The promotions and coupon system was also updated to better support flagship product campaigns. These improvements make it easier to create promotional offers while keeping full control over discounts and coupon rules.
Another important part of the project was preparing the store for increased traffic. Product launches of this scale often lead to a sharp rise in the number of visitors, so the osCommerce team supported the platform to help ensure the website remained stable and responsive during periods of high demand.
Security was also a key focus. Throughout the launch period, the team monitored the store for hacking attempts and other malicious activity, helping to protect the website and maintain uninterrupted service.
The result was a store that was better prepared for one of Samsung's biggest product launches of the year - from promotional tools and campaign management to performance under heavy load and ongoing security monitoring.
Projects like this demonstrate that preparing for a major product launch involves much more than adding new features. It also requires careful attention to performance, reliability, and security to help ensure customers enjoy the best possible shopping experience from the moment a new product becomes available.
