Custom E-Commerce Investment Platform

Customer: AI | Published: 05.02.2026

I’m building an online store that goes beyond a typical cart-and-checkout flow. Users must be able to
1) buy physical or digital products,
2) purchase stock-style investment units, and
3) join a Basic membership program. I do not want the site on Shopify, WooCommerce, or Magento—I need a fully custom solution instead. Core requirements • Secure product catalogue, cart, and checkout with major payment gateways (credit/debit, PayPal, optional crypto). • Investment module for Stock investment: user wallet, share purchase flow, real-time balance, transaction history, downloadable statements, and admin controls for adding or retiring “stocks.” • Membership system launching with a Basic tier today but architected so I can introduce Premium or VIP later without code rewrites. • Responsive UI/UX, mobile-first, SEO-friendly. • Admin dashboard for inventory, investment products, orders, memberships, user management, and analytics. • Role-based access, GDPR-compliant data handling, two-factor authentication, and clean REST or GraphQL API endpoints. • Full source code (Git), environment files, and clear deployment documentation for a Linux stack. A short post-launch warranty period for bug fixes is expected. I’m open to your recommended tech stack—Laravel, Node.js, Django, or another modern framework—as long as it is secure, scalable, and well-documented. When you respond, outline: 1. Your proposed architecture and key libraries. 2. Relevant portfolio links to custom e-commerce or investment platforms you’ve built. 3. Estimated timeline for an MVP with the features above. I’m ready to move quickly once I find the right partner.
