Custom WooCommerce Webshop Development

# PLEASE READ WELL BEFORE BIDDING!!!

**This is NOT a standard WooCommerce webshop.**

We are looking for an experienced **Senior WordPress/WooCommerce developer** to build a complete custom e-commerce platform from scratch to turnkey delivery.

Please read the full description before bidding. Generic/copy-paste proposals and unrealistic low bids will be ignored.

To confirm that you have read and understood the project, **START YOUR BID WITH: "CUSTOM MATS"**

---

## PROJECT

We are rebuilding an existing webshop selling custom-made floor mats for cars and other vehicles.

The most important part of the project is a **scalable vehicle database + search system + dynamic product configurator**, integrated with WooCommerce.

The current database contains approximately **6,000+ records and will continue to grow**, potentially to tens of thousands.

We do NOT want thousands of manually created WooCommerce products for every possible vehicle/material combination.

The technical architecture should connect:

**Vehicle → Compatible mat/product → Available materials → Base price → Options → Final price**

The client must be able to manage and expand the system without requiring a developer for every new machine, material, colour or price.

---

## 1. DATABASE

The client has an existing Excel database containing information including:

* Category / subcategory
* Brand
* Type
* Year / year range
* Additional designation
* Machine/product references
* Product descriptions
* Images
* Material availability
* Material pricing
* Shipping information
* Related products/accessories
* Logo/embroidery information
* Internal references

The database currently has approximately 6,000+ records and will grow substantially.

Developer must:

* Analyse the supplied database.
* Design a scalable database architecture.
* Import/migrate relevant data.
* Make future imports/updates possible.
* Avoid unnecessary duplication of WooCommerce products.
* Maintain good performance with 10,000+ records.

**Your bid MUST explain your proposed database architecture.**

---

## 2. VEHICLE SEARCH

Primary search:

**Brand + Type**

Additional criteria may include:

* Year
* Additional designation
* Extra
* Pedals

The website needs:

* Guided search
* Advanced search
* Standard search bar

Search results must support more than 10 matching vehicles/products.

The database may also contain vehicles for which no mould/product is currently available. These must be distinguishable from products that can actually be ordered.

---

## 3. PRODUCT CONFIGURATOR

The configurator is a core part of the project.

Available materials depend on the selected vehicle. Not every vehicle can use every material.

Examples include:

* Naaldvilt
* Ribtapijt
* Luxe/Premium Velours
* Statesman
* Rubber variants
* Future materials

The system must allow new materials to be added in the future without rebuilding the configurator.

Materials must be manageable from the backend, including activation/deactivation.

---

## 4. PRICING & OPTIONS

Base price is determined by:

**Vehicle + Material**

Additional configurable options include:

### Material colours

Colours depend on the selected material and must be manageable from the backend.

### Edge/border

For non-rubber mats customers can select different edge/border options and colours.

### Logo / text / embroidery

Customer can choose:

* No logo/text
* New logo
* Existing logo
* Text
* Logo upload
* Position(s)

New logo setup: **€15**

Logo placement: **€12 per position**

Multiple positions must automatically calculate the correct surcharge.

Current upload requirement: **AI or EPS, maximum 10 MB.**

All relevant prices/surcharges must be editable from the backend.

---

## 5. PRODUCT PAGES

Product pages should dynamically display:

* Product name
* Image gallery
* Mould/product image
* Vehicle image
* Floor/additional images
* Brand/material images
* Product description
* Vehicle compatibility
* Available materials/options
* Shipping information
* Matching accessories
* Related products

Where possible, information such as brand/type/designation should be generated dynamically from the database.

---

## 6. WOOCOMMERCE

Complete WooCommerce implementation including:

* Cart and checkout
* Guest checkout
* Customer accounts
* Delivery addresses
* Shipping rules
* Discount codes
* Free-shipping rules
* Order confirmation
* Customer emails
* Internal order notifications

The final order must contain all selected configuration options and prices.

---

## 7. PAYMENTS

Integration with **Mollie**, including relevant payment methods such as iDEAL, credit card, PayPal, bank transfer and country-specific methods where applicable.

---

## 8. B2B

Business customers should support:

* Business accounts
* Customer-specific discounts
* Ordering on invoice
* VAT validation
* EU VAT reverse charge

Discounts should be manageable per customer/company.

---

## 9. ACUMULUS

Integration with **Acumulus API**.

The intended system should transfer relevant customer/order information and support automatic invoice creation.

Developer must review the available API and explain the proposed implementation.

---

## 10. MULTILINGUAL

Initial languages:

* Dutch
* English
* German

The architecture should allow additional languages later.

---

## 11. MIGRATION & SEO

Where technically possible, migrate relevant existing:

* Products
* Customer data
* Product information
* Images
* URLs
* Other available webshop data

SEO migration should include existing URLs and appropriate 301 redirects.

The supplied Excel database will be the main source for the new vehicle/product structure.

**Products**

* Materials

* International/VAT information
* Discounts/gift cards
* Warranty & defects

**Account**

* Newsletter
* Social media

---

## 13. PERFORMANCE & TURNKEY DELIVERY

The finished website must be:

* Fully responsive
* Fast and scalable
* Secure
* Compatible with modern browsers
* Maintainable
* Properly tested

Developer is responsible for complete implementation including:

**Development → Database → Custom coding → Import → Integrations → Testing → Bug fixing → Migration → Deployment → Handover**

---
