Premium Hair Extensions E-commerce Site

Project: E-commerce Website for Premium Hair Extensions (Dropshipping + Manual QC Step)

About the Business:
I sell high-end premium hair extensions. I work with a supplier who allows dropshipping. I would need someone who is experienced with supplier plug in

⸻

What I Need:

1. Website Platform Recommendation
I need guidance on which platform is best for my needs (Shopify, WooCommerce, etc.). My biggest priorities are:
• Easy to manage
• Good for product variants
• Ability to integrate with supplier systems/plugins
• Ability to automate order flow

Please recommend a platform and explain why.

⸻

2. Full E-commerce Website Setup

The site should include:
• Homepage
• Shop/Product Catalog
• Individual Product Pages
• About/Brand Story
• Contact Page
• FAQ / Shipping & Returns
• Cart + Checkout

I’m open to your recommendations if additional pages are needed.

⸻

3. Product Setup

I have:
• 28 colors
• 4 product types
• 9 lengths

You will need to create product listings with multiple variants.

⸻

4. Supplier Integration

My supplier mentioned a plugin for fulfillment. I need:
• Guidance on how their plugin connects
• Integration setup if possible
• Clarification on how payments normally split (I keep profit, supplier receives their cost)

If split payments cannot be automated, I need a simple workflow to manage this manually until we automate later.

⸻

5. Checkout Flow / Order Workflow

Right now my workflow is:
1. Customer places order
2. Supplier ships product to customer


I need the website built in a way that supports this workflow for direct dropshipping.

⸻

6. Timeline & Budget

Please provide:
• Estimated timeline
• Your price (including product setup)
• What is or isn’t included

⸻

7. Ongoing Editing

I need the website set up in a way that allows me to:
• Edit products
• Add new colors/lengths
• Change pricing
• Edit homepage text and photos
• Add or update policies

No coding skills on my side.

8. Additional requirements:
• Basic SEO setup
• Mobile-friendly design
• Email notifications for order updates
• Payment gateway setup
• Domain connection

⸻

Summary:

I’m looking for someone who can guide me through the process and make sure I don’t end up with a website that doesn’t match my business workflow. I don’t need anything overly complex—just a clean, functional, scalable e-commerce site.
