We are launching a daily deal website that will need to use Google checkout for the ecommerce transaction. The requirements are below:
- CMS (categories: deals, businesses, affiliates)
- Google checkout integration (is ok to exit site to Google cart but will need to return to locally hosted checkout page which will use a unique checkout id to update the “deals sold” counter)
- Daily deals have minimum number that must be sold before all users are charged so Google checkout must be used so that transactions are pended until a minimum number of products are sold
- Daily deals have daily variable max inventory that cannot be exceeded and must appear on the homepage with # sold per day (updated dynamically)
- Daily deals may have 1-5 products available with limited numbers of each product available that day but will all be offered by the same business
- will be hosted on GoDaddy, php preferred, non-wordpress for scalability
- a wireframe with all design is ready and will be provided to selected bidders
Draft Technical Design:
DAILY DEALS: deal title, description, min # purchases, max number of purchases, purchase price, date valid (multiple deals from the same business may be posted – e.g. $100 gift certificate, $250 gift certificate)
BUSINESSES: business name, logo, description, url
AFFILIATES: business name, logo, description, url
PAGES NEEDED:
- home page (shows daily deal, daily featured business offering deal, archive of previous daily deals, affiliates)
- deal detail page
- archive (previous deals listed)
- business listing page
- affiliate listing page
- thank you page – Buy it button should go to Google Checkout and be redirected on successful transaction to a thank you page (which will update the number of deals sold for that item)
- tell a friend functionality
- sign up for updates (link via mailchimp)
- social share on pages as well
Phase II:
- a personal account on our site which tracks purchases for a rewards program (can be triggered by the thank you page with unique purchase id and email address and populated in Phase II from Google checkout purchase history by email addresses)
- buy it will link to a log in/sign up page and then to google checkout
