PHP + OpenCart developer

Job ID: 37363605

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

We are in the midst of a digital transformation journey. Our client possesses an e-commerce platform developed in OpenCart, which is now poised for a revamp. The new frontend is being crafted with NextJS/React, aiming to achieve seamless integration with the existing backend.

Key Responsibilities:

Migrate the existing OpenCart e-commerce website to our designated server.
Replicate the migrated site to serve as a developmental environment.
Convert this duplicate into a headless backend, utilizing its built-in REST-API to serve data to the frontend.
Ensure compatibility and smooth data flow between the backend and the NextJS/React frontend.
Collaborate with our internal team to address the site's unique features, particularly its custom middleware that governs tier-based pricing.
Requirements:

Proven experience with PHP, with a particular emphasis on OpenCart.
Familiarity with creating and managing headless backends.
Experience in working with REST-APIs.
Knowledge of NextJS/React is a plus, though not mandatory.
Ability to understand and work with custom middleware setups. In our case, the middleware manages pricing tiers for customers and modifies displayed prices dynamically. This middleware is connected to an external admin panel which will stay operational.
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
About the Website:
Our client's website boasts a catalog of approximately 1,500 products spread across 24 distinct categories. It's not a typical out-of-the-box solution and requires meticulous attention to achieve the envisioned migration and integration.
