The French Toast “Shop By School” Experience

French Toast sells apparel for the family and uniforms for hundreds of different schools.  French Toast needed to ensure a way for their site to parents the right school uniform for their child, with the correct school pricing and extras like embroidery only on allowable garments.

With Kibo, French Toast Enables Shoppers to:

  • “Shop By School” by inputting a school code, name, or zip code to find their respective school
  • Upon selecting a school, shoppers see a category page with only products and prices relevant to their school
  • Products are assigned to schools in the allowable colors for specific size ranges to ensure shoppers buy the correct garments
  • ​Visualization allows shoppers to see the embroidery on a garment before buying only for allowable garments
  • School items are separated from non-school items in the cart and at checkout to allow for single orders to be placed without confusion of what items are school approved
