Description:
What's needed:
- An integrated Multisite + MarketPress commercial website.
- A new site with fresh WP and plug-in installations.
- Super smooth cart functionality, payment gateway and customer notification required.
Site will need to be tested bug-free with sample store products, sellers and buyers.
YOU:
- Clever and talented Wordpress site developer
- Experience with MarketPress multisite
- Experience with PayPal Adaptive Payments API app process
ME:
- Creating my first online marketplace site
- Have constructed a WordPress site before
- Reasonable and easy to work with
CRITICAL FEATURES:
I chose MarketPress because because it is set up to work with Adaptive Payments.
1. New PayPal Adaptive Payments API (Chained Payments). You will handle app creation process with PayPal and any integration required with MarketPress.
2. Payments from sales at a storefront are automatically split between the multi-store owner (me) and the storefront’s owner.
3. Sales notifications must be automatically sent to customer, multi-store admin (me) and store owner.
General Description
As you can tell by now, I am constructing an online marketplace. The caveat: store owners will be in several different countries, but I will create the stores for them. The first phase of the project will be for English-speaking countries only, but if you have experience with adding languages to WP this is a bonus.
The products being sold are vouchers and gift certificates which the buyer will print out and present to a store owner in person for redemption. I will receive a commission from the sale of the vouchers. I have no plans to host physical products or ship products. I have no plans to create products with lots of options. It’s very straightforward in that sense.
Other Considerations
- You will test the store with sample data. Once it’s all working like a dream, I will be the one to populate it with other stores and products.
- I may seek your advice on web hosting, site security and other plug-ins. We can work out agreements for other efforts as needed.
- We can choose themes together. I’m not looking for deep customization and will only request it if it’s required for site functionality or to avoid the site from looking butt ugly.
- If you have suggestions on how to integrate affiliate marketing with MP, we may work together on this as well.
Timeline
I’d like to get started as soon as possible but please note I will be on vacation July 17-23.
Let’s talk about how long you think it will take. I prefer thoroughness over speed.
Thanks...
