Project Overview
I am launching a global shopping business for customers who want authentic overseas products that are unavailable or difficult to obtain locally. Categories include health supplements, beauty, fashion, and lifestyle. USA sourcing and Indian customers are the initial focus, with additional approved markets supported by the store structure.
I need an experienced Shopify developer or team to deliver the complete store: design, products, content, banners, payments, billing, sourcing and quote workflows, shipping, tracking, analytics, testing, and handover.
Theme Selection
You must suggest an appropriate premium Shopify theme customized for a premium and trustworthy shopping brand. In your proposal, please explain the exact benefits of your suggested theme and provide the total cost for the license. The theme purchase is separate from development labor and the license must be registered to and belong exclusively to my store.
Base Scope of Work (For Your Fixed-Price Quote)
Store Setup: One owner-controlled Shopify store, English at launch, with responsive desktop and mobile layouts.
Markets & Currency: India as the primary market, plus setup for up to two additional approved destination markets. Block unsupported destinations and product routes. Must include IP-based auto-geolocation and multi-currency display.
Catalog: 100 parent products and up to 300 variants total, 8 category collections, up to 20 brand collections, and 4 reusable product templates.
Brand Design: Two logo concepts and one final logo pack, colors, typography, favicon, and two consolidated design revision rounds.
Creative Assets: Three hero designs with desktop and mobile exports, 8 category tiles, 4 promotional designs with desktop/mobile exports, and 4 process icons. Include editable files, authorized product imagery, and image licensing records.
Pages Required: Home, Categories, Brands, Products, Search & Empty Results, Request Product, How it Works, Cart, Checkout, Customer Account, Order Tracking, About, Authenticity, FAQ, Contact, Policies, Thank You, Order Status, 404, and Blog (with one approved article).
UX/UI Features: Relevant mega menu, mobile navigation, predictive search, category filters, variant selection, image galleries, useful product comparison, related products, trust badges, and genuine review setup.
Product Requests: Overseas product request form (with product URL, variant, quantity, destination, and contact details), request acknowledgement, and operator queue.
Quoting Workflow: Itemized quote with price validity and delivery terms; supported secure quote checkout; linked paid order and procurement task; expiry and revised quote handling.
Sourcing Workflow: Covering purchase reference, supplier receipt, source transit, international shipping, customs, last-mile delivery, delivery confirmation, and exceptions. Distinguish automated updates from staff actions.
Pricing Model: Approved pricing model covering source price, currency, freight, duties, taxes, clearance, delivery, service fees, and margin. No surprise or double-charged import costs.
Payments: One approved Indian payment gateway and one eligible international payment route. Must include payment states, full/partial refunds, invoices, reconciliation, and documentation of actual charge and settlement currency.
Shipping/Logistics: One approved shipping or forwarding partner, shipping rates or quote process, parcel and label workflow, tracking, customs documents where required, and returns.
Marketing & Communications: Branded transaction emails, support contact form, live chat integration, WhatsApp entry point, branded email and domain setup, GA4, one email platform, and owner-supplied Meta integration (if applicable).
Technical, Speed & Compliance: Basic SEO, Google Search Console, relevant structured data, guaranteed Core Web Vitals / PageSpeed optimization, international privacy consent handling (cookie banners, GDPR/DPDP compliance), accessibility checks, account permissions, backup, rollback, and merchant reporting.
Testing: Full acceptance testing, owner-performed low-value live payments and refunds, and one approved USA to India test order followed through actual sourcing, customs, delivery, and cost reconciliation.
Handover & Support: Theme and catalog exports, custom code and configuration notes, editable creative assets, app cost register, operating guide, two recorded training sessions, and 30 calendar days of in-scope defect support after launch.
Important Feasibility Requirements (Must Read)
Before design, you must prove the actual payment and sourced order architecture for this Indian business.
Shopify documents payment restrictions for pre-orders, and PayPal India cannot receive domestic customer payments.
A theme "pre-order" button does not establish payment compatibility. Confirm Shopify and gateway approval for delayed fulfillment and any required selling plan implementation. Do not propose a workaround that simply bypasses unsupported purchase options.
Shopify checkout customization depends on the selected plan.
A currency converter does not necessarily provide native local currency checkout.
Collecting an import fee does not itself clear customs.
Installing an app does not complete an integration. Retailer purchasing stays manual unless a supported supplier interface is specifically quoted and tested.
Payment Terms (Strictly Enforced)
This is a FIXED-COST project.
We will strictly follow Freelancer.com payment terms.
Funds will be deposited in advance into Milestone payments (Escrow) to secure the contract.
100% of the milestone funds will ONLY be released AFTER the work is fully delivered, tested, and completed to satisfaction. No partial or upfront releases before work is actually delivered.
How to Bid
Please provide the following in your proposal:
Links to three live Shopify projects you have built, explaining your specific role in each.
Your complete fixed labor quote.
Proposed architecture and actual timeline to complete the scope.
Milestone breakdown, dependencies, exclusions, revision policy, and support terms.
Itemized Separately: Theme cost, Shopify plan, every app required, hosting, transaction fees, email or WhatsApp charges, shipping/customs costs, and live test purchases.
Show Month 1 and steady monthly operating costs using stated assumptions.
Terms & Ownership
My accounts, domain, licenses, customer data, and commissioned source files must remain strictly under my control. Paid services need my approval before purchase. Optional extras must be quoted separately.
