Social Impact, Multi-purpose, Subscription-based E-Commerce Platform

Dear Full Stack Developers, I hope this message finds you well. I am looking for a skilled developer to create a social impact, multi-purpose, subscription-based e-commerce platform that promotes social impact. I am reaching out to invite you to submit a bid for a project that aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #10 - reducing inequality within and among countries. The project entails building a social impact multipurpose, subscription-based e-commerce platform with STRIPE integration to facilitate the buying and selling of art online. Before delving into the project details, I would like to emphasize that IP protection is of utmost importance. To ensure the confidentiality of the project, a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)/Non-Solicitation (NS) agreement will need to be signed before any further discussions can take place. This is to safeguard the intellectual property and ensure the privacy of all involved parties. The primary objective of this project is to create an online platform that fosters inclusivity and reduces income inequality by providing artists from diverse backgrounds with a platform to showcase and sell their artwork. The platform will employ a subscription-based model, enabling artists to have a consistent and sustainable income stream. STRIPE integration is a critical requirement, and we are specifically seeking developers with expertise in integrating STRIPE or similar payment gateways. To be considered for this project, it is essential that you have previously completed at least one online art marketplace successfully. This demonstrates your understanding of the unique challenges and requirements of such platforms. Additionally, we expect the project to be completed within a timeframe of 4 to 4.5 months, so please ensure you have the capacity to deliver within this timeline. Payment for the project will be made upon successful completion of milestones. We are open to the possibility of establishing a long-term maintenance arrangement after the platform is built, so ongoing support and maintenance expertise would be advantageous. To maintain stringent IP protection, it is imperative that all work is performed within a workspace and/or URL domain owned by the Product Owner, under limited delegated authority. Developers will be prohibited from setting up the project or performing any work on their local PCs, team member's PCs, or any other workspaces not owned by the Product Owner. If you have concerns or reservations regarding any of the project parameters mentioned above, we kindly request that you decline this invitation to bid. We understand the importance of respecting your time and appreciate your consideration in participating in this project. Please submit your proposal, outlining your experience, expertise in STRIPE integration, and how you plan to approach the project. We look forward to reviewing your bid and potentially working together to create a platform that contributes to reducing income inequality and promoting inclusivity in the art industry. Key Requirements: - User profiles and accounts: Users should be able to create profiles and accounts to access the platform's features. - Payment gateway: The platform should have a secure and reliable payment gateway for users to make purchases. - Discussion forum: A discussion forum should be implemented to facilitate communication and interaction among users. Ideal Skills and Experience: - Strong proficiency in web development and e-commerce platforms. - Experience in building subscription-based platforms and integrating payment gateways. - Knowledge of user profile and account management systems. - Familiarity with building and managing discussion forums. Targeted Audience: - The platform is targeted towards the general public, including young adults and professionals, consumers as well as businesses. If you have experience in developing similar platforms and are passionate about art and promoting social impact, please submit your proposal.
