WordPress/WooCommerce Developer – Custom Build, Alternative Payments
Project Overview
I am seeking an experienced WordPress/WooCommerce developer to build a small, self-hosted eCommerce website from the ground up.
This is NOT a Shopify, Wix, or SaaS-based build. The site must be fully self-hosted with complete ownership of hosting, files, and database.
The website will initially consist of:
• Homepage
• About / Information page
• Single Product / Purchase page
While the page count is small, this project requires strong WooCommerce expertise and flexible payment integration.
Clean architecture, security, and long-term flexibility are more important than visual complexity.
⸻
Scope & Deliverables
The selected developer will be responsible for:
• Hosting configuration (in my name)
• Fresh self-hosted WordPress installation
• WooCommerce setup and configuration
• Theme implementation (custom or lightweight optimized theme)
• Product setup (single product initially)
• Secure checkout configuration
• Integration of alternative / non-standard payment gateway
• SSL setup
• Basic on-page SEO structure
• Mobile optimization
• Performance optimization
• Security hardening
• Clean admin setup with documentation
Final deliverable must include:
• Full admin access
• All credentials
• Clean, organized backend
• Working payment processing in live mode
• Brief walkthrough (recorded or live) of site management
⸻
Payment Integration Requirements
This project requires experience beyond standard Stripe or PayPal setup.
Developer must be comfortable with:
• Alternative or high-risk merchant gateway integration
• API-based payment configurations
• Structuring checkout to allow future gateway changes
• Optional integration of crypto or manual payment workflows
Experience integrating non-mainstream payment processors is strongly preferred.
⸻
Skills Required
• WordPress
• WooCommerce
• PHP
• Payment Gateway Integration
• E-commerce Website Development
• API Integration
⸻
Communication & Work Style
I value:
• Clear communication
• Structured milestones
• Realistic timelines
• Transparency around technical limitations
Please be available for video calls during Pacific Time business hours.
I prefer milestone-based payments tied to clear deliverables (hosting setup, WooCommerce configuration, sandbox payment working, live payment working, final launch).
This is a fixed-scope project, not a contract-to-hire opportunity, though occasional hourly maintenance may be needed after launch.
⸻
Timeline
Target timeline: Approximately 4 weeks from project start.
Please provide:
• Estimated timeline
• Fixed price proposal
• Examples of WooCommerce sites you have built (live links)
• Description of any alternative or custom payment integrations you’ve completed
⸻

“WooCommerce custom build confirmed.”
