WooCommerce Marine Parts Storefront

I’m ready to roll out a Woo Commerce-based store that will showcase roughly 1,000 marine and industrial parts. All product data (SKUs, descriptions, images, pricing) is prepared in a spreadsheet; I need you to turn it into a clean, searchable catalogue.

2. Core Technical Requirements Platform Recommendation Woo Commerce (WordPress): Selected for its cost-efficiency, flexibility with B2B features, and lack of recurring monthly app fees for item management. Design & User Experience (UX)Mobile-First Design: Optimized for industrial customer, boat owners and commercial operators ordering parts directly from docks or remote worksites. Clean, Industrial Aesthetic: High-contrast text, clear visual category blocks (e.g., Engine Brands, Electrical, Filtration), and minimal decorative clutter. Persistent Service CTA: A sticky header or floating button displaying "Book Mobile Service: visible across all devices.3. Key Functionality & Modules A. E-Commerce & Catalogue Structure (~1,000 SKUs)Bulk Data Import: Products will be supplied via a CSV spreadsheet. The developer must configure the initial data mapping using WP All Import or a native Woo Commerce equivalent. Faceted Product Filtering: Users must be able to filter parts concurrently by Brand (e.g., Yanmar, Volvo Penta), Category (e.g., Impellers, Filters), and Engine Series/Model. Product Variations: Group identical parts with different sizes into singular parent pages with dropdown selectors to keep the database light. Hybrid Checkout Architecture: Standard parts: "Add to Cart" with instant payment gateway routing. High-ticket items (e.g., Complete Engine Repowers): Replace price with a "Request a Quote" button that triggers a custom email enquiry form. B. B2B / Wholesale Portal Tiered Pricing: Ability for approved commercial accounts (e.g., aquaculture farms, commercial fleets) to log in and automatically see discounted trade pricing. C. Simplified Service & Contact Routing No Automated Booking Software: All service pages must omit interactive calendars or booking portals. Service Lead Generation: Dedicate a prominent section of the site to the mobile service offerings (covering Northern and North-West Tasmania).Direct CTAs: All service prompts must feature direct click-to-call mobile links and direct email links .4. Integrations & Infrastructure Payment Gateways: Stripe (Credit/Debit cards) . Shipping & Logistics: Australia Post API integration with rule-based handling for heavy/oversized industrial items (e.g., items over 25kg default to a "Carrier Quote Required" message at checkout).Hosting Requirements: Setup on a high-performance cloud host (e.g., SiteGround GrowBig tier) to ensure database response times remain under 2 seconds.5.
