Build a Simple DSers-Like App for Shopify + Chrome Extension (LATAM focus) + Monthly Subscription

Job ID: 40082994

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I’m looking for a developer (or small team) to build an MVP similar to DSers, but much simpler and focused on LATAM merchants: a Shopify embedded app + a Chrome/Edge extension to import products from AliExpress and help with order processing using a semi-automatic autofill flow.

Main goals: fast, reliable MVP, Spanish-friendly UX, simple pricing rules, and subscription billing.

MVP Scope (Must-Have)
1) Shopify Embedded App

Shopify OAuth installation + minimal required scopes

Embedded admin UI (Shopify App Bridge)

Database to store imported products, mappings, settings, and logs

2) AliExpress Import via Chrome/Edge Extension

Extension captures product data from AliExpress pages:

title, description (basic), images, variants, prices, shipping info if available

Sends data to the app backend to create/import a draft item

In the app: edit title/images/variants before publishing

3) Publish to Shopify

Create products in Shopify with variants and images

Maintain mapping between imported item ↔ Shopify product/variant IDs

4) Pricing Rules (Simple but Useful)

Markup by % or fixed amount

Rounding rules (e.g., to .990 / .900 / whole number)

Optional price rules by ranges (e.g., if cost X–Y apply markup Z)

5) Orders + Autofill Workflow (Semi-Automatic)

Pull Shopify orders and show a “Process” queue

Extension helps autofill order details on AliExpress checkout (semi-automatic, user confirms)

Store order status and basic events/logs

6) Tracking Sync

Save tracking number(s)

Push fulfillment + tracking to Shopify

7) Subscription Billing (Monthly)

Stripe Billing (plans + monthly subscription)

Enforce plan limits (e.g., number of imported products / orders per month)

Out of Scope (For V2)

Multi-supplier (CJ, Temu, etc.)

100% fully automated purchasing without user confirmation

Platforms beyond Shopify (WooCommerce/Tiendanube)

Suggested Tech Stack (Flexible)

Frontend: React / Next.js + TypeScript

Backend: Node.js (Express/NestJS) + PostgreSQL

Jobs/queues: Redis + BullMQ (optional but recommended)

Payments: Stripe Billing

Extension: Chrome Extension Manifest V3 + TypeScript

Deliverables

Source code repo (frontend + backend + extension) — preferably a monorepo

Basic staging deployment guidance (or Docker Compose for local dev)

Short documentation: setup, env vars, main flows (import → publish → orders → tracking)

QA checklist / basic smoke tests

Proposal Requirements (Please Answer)

Share 2–3 relevant projects (Shopify apps and/or Chrome extensions)

Short technical plan: how you’ll implement import + autofill in a robust way

Timeline estimate by milestones:

Import + publish

Orders + autofill

Stripe subscription + limits

Tracking sync

Your role: solo dev / dev+QA / small team

Bonus Points

Strong Shopify Admin API + webhooks experience

Stripe Billing experience

Experience building robust browser extensions for e-commerce flows
