The project will work similar to the model of [login to view URL]
What invisionfree does is it provides with with an installation of a forum software for free. Much like an email account, you sign in create an account and you get your own forum. You can then use a C-Name to link your URL to the forum, change the Logo and some other look at feel features.
I want the same idea but with an online store.
## Deliverables
Rent A Coder requirements notice: As originally posted, this bid request does not have complete details. Should a dispute arise and this project go into arbitration "as is", the contract's vagueness might cause it to be interpreted against you, even though you were acting in good-faith. So for your protection, if you are interested in this project, please work-out and document the requirements onsite.
The user would sign up for an account, the site would generate an online store for the user. The online store would be capable of the following:
- Creating Catagories of items
- Creating Items below each catagory
- Ability to list an item until mutiple categories
- Ability to add an unlimited number of attributes to an item (Such as size, color, ...) User can then choose whether the attribute is Integer, Char, or date ... Also can make this a freeform or drop down.
- Full Featured shopping cart + Checkout
- Single Payment server would keep track of all sales. The sale would be credited to the Vendor and the money would all go to one account. At the end of each month the Vendor will get paid. So the payment service can be outsourced entirely as long as tracking can be kept on vendor and sale level and reports can be run by site admins and by Vendors.
- User Accounts with Permission scheme: Admin, Vendor, Customer
- Ability to Change Background colors, logos, stylesheets.
- Design Panel that would allow the admin to decide where on the page certain information shows up
- Ability to have discounts and sales for certain categories, items, and users or groups of users based on location, total sales.
- Customers are unique to each store and do not go from store to store. It is very important that the store looks and feels individually hosted.
- I would recommend signing up for an invisionfree account onlne and testing out who the subscription model works.
- Safegaurds in place to avoid removal of ads from the site
- Safegaurds in place to avoid using another payment server
- Ability to upgrade to monthly fee vs free membership for removal of ads
- Ability to do customer service requests and returns through the site.
We're not opposed to buying an off the shelf software and customizing it to fit this model. But the model is very important.
