Expected duration: 1 - 6 months Summary of Technical Specification for Developer Request
Project Overview
We are building a personalised haircare platform that integrates advanced xxx analysis technology and a database of product insights. The platform will dynamically generate personalised e-commerce pages for users based on xxxx analysis results, with seamless purchasing capabilities. The platform will be developed using WordPress and WooCommerce for scalability and cost-efficiency.
Core Requirements
1. Platform Setup
Use WordPress as the Content Management System (CMS). Integrate WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. Ensure the platform is mobile-optimised and user-friendly.
2. Hair Analysis Integration
Integrate API to process photo-based hair analysis. Provide an option for users to purchase a premium physical strand analysis kit.
3. Product Data Integration
Integrate a product database via API or data import tools (e.g., WP All Import). Combine hair analysis results with the product database to deliver tailored product recommendations.
4. Personalised E-Commerce Pages Dynamically generate product recommendations for users based on their xxxx analysis. Display curated routines and product bundles with filters for user preferences.
5. Unified Checkout and Order Fulfillment
Implement a single checkout process for products from multiple suppliers using plugins like Stripe Connect or PayPal Commerce. Enable dropshipping functionality to route orders directly to suppliers via WooCommerce Dropshipping or similar plugins.
6. Subscription Management
Integrate WooCommerce Subscriptions to manage recurring payments for premium features or services.
7. Hosting and Scalability
Use managed WordPress hosting (e.g., Kinsta, WP Engine, or SiteGround) to ensure reliability and scalability. Optimise for high performance using caching plugins and scalable server solutions.
8. Security and Compliance
Ensure GDPR compliance for user data handling. Secure API integrations and user data with robust encryption and access controls.
9. Testing and QA
Conduct thorough user testing for all workflows, including hair analysis, e-commerce, and checkout processes. Validate accuracy of data integration and recommendation engine.
