https://insideretail.com.au/Inside Retail is one of the most trusted retail industry publications globally targeting the retail industry, published by Octomedia, one of Australia's leading B2B publishers. What started as a weekly newspaper in 1971 is today a retail education hub featuring daily news, analysis, executive interviews, and more from their network of journalists and contributors.
I developed their online platform to publish free and premium articles. They have six websites that share a single system for authentication. Firebase authentication is used instead of a standard WordPress system. Users must purchase a membership to access premium content, and the Stripe API handles the subscription process. The email campaigns are sent via Emarsys and ActiveCampaign, so user data is sent to the platform via their API.
