Barber & Nail Booking Marketplace Development

Job ID: 40592322

Budget: £250 – £750 GBP

Project Description:

I am looking for an experienced WordPress developer to build a modern barber and nail booking marketplace.

This will not be a simple business website. The platform will connect customers with barbers and nail professionals who can create profiles, list services, accept bookings, and receive payments.

The business model is:

* Customers book and pay through the website.
* The platform takes a 10% commission from each transaction.
* 90% of the payment goes automatically to the barber/nail professional.

The website must be professional, mobile-friendly, scalable, and built with future growth in mind.



Customer Booking System:

Customers should be able to:

* Create an account
* Search and browse barbers/nail professionals
* View profiles
* View services and prices
* View photos/gallery
* Read reviews
* Choose a service
* Select a barber/technician
* Select available date and time
* Book appointments online
* Pay online
* Receive booking confirmation

Customers should also be able to:

* View upcoming appointments

Barber & Nail Professional Registration:

Admin approval should be required before a new barber or nail professional profile becomes publicly visible.

1. Customer books and pays online.
2. The system automatically takes 10% commission for the platform.
