We need a professional WordPress/WooCommerce developer to build a modern local-vendor directory website with a built-in cart → WhatsApp checkout flow. Project Summary Each city will have verified vendors. Users can browse by category → select city → view vendor → add items → checkout via WhatsApp. Orders are WhatsApp-based (no online payments). Each vendor has their own catalog and unique store page. --- Core Features (Phase-1) 1. Category → City → Vendor → Product → Cart → WhatsApp Checkout flow 2. Single-Vendor Cart system (clear cart if vendor changes) 3. Dynamic WhatsApp Message: Auto-generated order reference (SM07-YYMMDD-hhmmss) Pre-filled message with order summary 4. GA4 + GTM Event Tracking (6 Events): category_click, city_select, vendor_view, add_to_cart, checkout_click, whatsapp_order_click 5. CSV Import System: Vendor & Product import/export by vendor_code 6. Security & Maintenance: Weekly auto-backup Limit login attempts / brute-force protection File-editor & XML-RPC disable 30-day post-handover bug-fix warranty 7. Performance: Auto WebP images, lazy load, cache setup Lighthouse 90+ target --- Phase-2 (Included – No Extra Cost) After launch, same CTAs will shift to an Interakt WhatsApp flow for automated intake.
