WooCommerce-WhatsApp Hybrid Store

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.
