Build an Online Store

A D2C luxury fashion marketplace platform that connects new designers (sellers) with online shoppers (buyers) for selling and buying fashion items This platform is targeted towards the designers themselves through giving them voice and exposure and support in their marketing operations and puts them on the radar of upscale offline retailers for further expansion. The proposed solution will offer a world-class user experience to both sellers and buyers while they are selling self-designed clothes and buying exclusive items at a reasonable price. The website will mainly target Europe and ME for designers and buyers. The website will support English and Arabic languages and several currencies (EUR, GBP, AED, USD) Stage 1: At the moment, there are no products available to showcase on the website, as we are still recruiting designers. For this reason, as a first step the website will solicit applications from designers and stylists to join the community. The homepage should have a fashionable look and feel and have sign in links to pages where each designer can fill out a form with details for registering themselves, this registration would need to be viewed and validated by an admin (website founders), similar thing for the stylist page Stage 2: eCommerce platform DESIGNER JOURNEY In order to sell an item on the website, designer will have to: - Create identity by providing title, name, style, billing information and other useful information in order to create designer as an entity in the web site. This should be approved by admin. - Upload items information (pictures, price etc). - Select preferred payment method. ♣ Accept terms and conditions. ♣ Designer gets access to statistical information about their items, number of views... ♣ Designer gets notified via email when items are sold. ♣ In case buyer didn’t return items within the defined time frame, seller receives their revenue (it’s transferred to his account, or it’s a bank cheque, whatever was agreed on when designer created his account). The transfer can happen after every successful operation or once per month whatever was agreed on when designer created his account.
