Auto-Financing Mobile App Development

React Native + Strapi Financing & E-Commerce Mobile App for Automotive Business

Project Description

We are looking for an experienced React Native mobile app developer/full-stack developer to build a customer-facing mobile application for an automotive business in Nigeria.

We already have an existing WordPress/WooCommerce website where our vehicles are listed. The mobile app should connect to the existing website via API to display vehicles and, in the future, other products that may be available exclusively through the app.

The first version will focus primarily on vehicle financing/installment payments.

Main Features

Customer Mobile App

User registration and login
Customer profile
Browse vehicles/products
Vehicle/product details
Financing application
Upload required documents
View financing application status
Approved/rejected/pending status
View total financing amount
Amount already paid
Outstanding balance
Installment/payment schedule
Payment history
Online payments
Payment receipts
Notifications
Financing completion status
Ability to apply for another financing plan
Backend

We are considering Strapi as the backend and would like the developer to help structure the backend appropriately.

The backend should handle:

Customers
Financing applications
Financing plans
Installments
Payments
Transactions
Documents
Application/financing status
Basic notifications
Admin/staff management
Existing WordPress Integration

Our existing WordPress/WooCommerce website will remain in use.

The app should be able to retrieve vehicle/product information through the WordPress/WooCommerce API.

In the future, we may add other products such as electronics, phones, appliances, etc. These products may be available on the mobile app without being displayed on the public automotive website.

Therefore, the architecture should be scalable for future expansion.

Payment Integration

The application will need integration with a Nigerian payment gateway such as Paystack or Flutterwave, including support for installment payments and payment records.

We are also interested in options for automated/recurring payments, subject to what the payment provider supports.

Admin Dashboard

Staff should be able to:

View customers
View financing applications
Review applications
Approve/reject applications
View financing plans
Track payments
View outstanding balances
Manage installment schedules
View transaction history
Technology

Preferred technologies:

React Native
Strapi
Node.js
WordPress/WooCommerce REST API
Paystack/Flutterwave API
PostgreSQL/MySQL/appropriate production database

We are open to recommendations from experienced developers if there is a better architecture.

Project Timeline

Target development period: approximately 8 weeks.

We would prefer the project to be divided into milestones:

Planning & UI/UX
Core mobile app & backend
Financing & payment system
Admin dashboard, testing & deployment
Important

This is intended to be the first version (MVP). We are not looking to build the entire CDcare-style platform immediately. The system should, however, be designed so that additional products and financing options can be introduced in future phases.

Please provide:

Your estimated project cost
Estimated timeline
Relevant React Native/Strapi projects you've built
Examples of fintech, e-commerce, financing, or payment-related applications
What you would include in the quoted price
Any additional costs we should expect (hosting, APIs, app-store deployment, etc.)

Please quote for the complete MVP rather than an hourly rate only.
