WooCommerce Platform Creation and Migration Expert
Budget: £1,500 – £3,000 GBP
WooCommerce Expert: B2B/B2C Hybrid Build, Domain Migration & Open Banking Setup (Ecwid to WooCommerce)
Project Overview
We are Vitality Vitamin Vials Ltd, a fast-growing UK-based supplier of premium wellness and aesthetic products. We are executing a complete brand evolution, launching directly on our new domain: `3vpro.co.uk` (and retiring our current `vitalityvitaminvials.co.uk` URL).
As part of this launch, we are migrating away from Ecwid and building a secure, bespoke e-commerce platform on WordPress & WooCommerce.
We require an experienced WooCommerce developer to handle the clinical website build (reflecting our new 3V Pro identity), a secure database migration of our existing catalog/customers from Ecwid, and a hybrid B2C/B2B checkout structure designed to be fully compatible with Google Merchant Center requirements.

Key Features & Requirements
Ecwid to WooCommerce Migration:** Securely migrate our existing products, categories, images, and customer database from Ecwid into the WooCommerce installation on the new domain.
Clinical, Next-Gen Aesthetic (The "3V Pro" Identity):** The design must look like an elite, high-end wellness/pharmaceutical supplier. It needs a clean, modern, highly trustworthy, sleek, and minimalistic layout.
Three-Tier Category Gatekeeping (Google Merchant Friendly):** We require a checkout system split across three distinct product behaviors:
1. Fully Public (B2C Cosmetics & Oral Supplements): Completely public. Anyone can view prices, add to cart, and buy immediately with zero roadblocks. No account required.
2. Public Over-The-Counter (Vitamin B12 & Vitamin C Ampoules): Publicly purchasable with visible prices and "Add to Basket" functionality. However, it must display a simple, mandatory cart disclaimer/warning popup before they can proceed to checkout: *"Please note: These ampoules are for self-administration or professional use. By purchasing, you agree you have the necessary knowledge to use this product safely."*
3. Restricted/Clinical Categories (Injectables & Professional Vials): Prices are visible (for Google Merchant/SEO and time-poor clinics), but the "Add to Basket" button is hidden for guest users, replaced with a "Register to Buy" button.
Mandatory Registration Checkpoint (For Clinical Only):** To register and purchase restricted clinical items, users **must** create an account. The registration form must contain:
1. A text input field requiring them to state their professional qualification or training academy details (this acts as a strong psychological barrier and a legal audit trail).
2. A mandatory self-declaration checkbox confirming they are an appropriately qualified professional with suitable insurance to cover the products they are purchasing.
3. A mandatory Terms & Conditions checkbox.
* *Note: If any of these checkboxes are left unticked, the registration process must halt immediately and block the customer journey. Once checked, their account is instantly auto-approved.*
Secure Payment Integration:** Integration of a reliable open banking gateway via **Wallid** (no Stripe, PayPal, or standard credit card processors).
Customer Communication & Boundaries:** Integration of our existing **Chatway** account and setting up a brand-new **WhatsApp** connection for structured customer support.
Scalable Code & Ownership:** We must own 100% of the site, code, and database upon completion.

What We Need From You (In Your Proposal)
**Three-Tier Category Logic:** How will you configure WooCommerce to display prices publicly across all tiers, while restricting the "Add to Basket" function only to specific categories (and adding a cart disclaimer to the OTC vitamins)?
**Your Migration & Redirect Experience:** Have you successfully migrated a live store from Ecwid to WooCommerce before? What tools do you use to ensure a 100% data loss prevention?
**Domain Transition Strategy:** Because we are launching on our brand new domain (`3vpro.co.uk`) and retiring our current domain (`vitalityvitaminvials.co.uk`), how will you manage the **SEO 301 redirect mapping** to ensure a seamless transition for existing customers?
**Estimated Cost & Timeline:** A realistic, transparent price and timeframe estimate to build and migrate this from kickoff to launch.
