Project Overview: We run an established e-commerce store on Shopify. We are expanding our business model to allow independent "Distributors" (Vendors) to register, manage their own inventory, create invoices, and collect payments directly. Because Shopify’s native checkout cannot dynamically split payments directly to external bank accounts while routing processing fees to the master company, this project requires a specialist who can integrate Stripe Connect with a multi-vendor architecture (either via a custom app or deeply customizing a marketplace app like Webkul/Marketcube). We need an expert full-stack developer to build this custom Distributor Portal with the following core functional requirements: Key Requirements & Scope of Work: Distributor Registration & Portal Login: A dedicated portal/login area linked from our main Shopify website. Multi-field registration form for Distributors collecting: Name, Email, Phone, Mailing Address, Business Name, and Tax ID / SSN. Centralized SKU Management (Admin Control): The master company must have absolute control over product creation. Distributors cannot create new products; they only manage inventory for assigned SKUs. Product Catalog Setup: Initial setup for seven (7) specific SKUs: Two (2) distributor inventory packages, and five (5) individual consumer product SKUs. Distributor-Initiated Invoicing & Customer Checkout: Distributors must be able to manually create an order/invoice inside their backend portal. System must email a secure payment link to the customer to complete the order. Invoices must automatically calculate local sales tax and real-time shipping costs based on the distributor's fulfillment location. Direct Payout via Stripe Connect (100% Split): Crucial Feature: Customers pay 100% of the product cost, shipping, and tax directly to the Distributor's connected bank account. The transaction must route through Stripe Connect, dynamically deducting only the exact credit card processing fee (e.g., 2.9% + $0.30) to be routed to the master company account. Distributors must have a dashboard to manage payouts/withdrawals. Fulfillment & Shipping Label Printing: Distributors must be able to view their pending customer orders, print shipping labels directly from their backend dashboard, and fulfill orders using their own on-hand inventory. Digital Asset Library: A media library section inside the distributor portal where the master company can upload promotional images and videos for distributors to view and download. Master Admin Oversight: The core company admin dashboard must have full visibility into all orders received, processed, and shipped by all distributors across the network. Sales Tracking & Reporting System: Distributors must be able to view and download their individual sales and tax reports. Company master admin needs access to all individual reports plus a consolidated, full-company financial report. Legal Agreement & E-Signing: A dedicated compliance section in the backend where new distributors can view the company's Policies & Procedures / Distributor Agreement and digitally sign it during onboarding or updates. Scalable Architecture: The code, database, and portal architecture must be modular and clean so we can easily add new features, tiers, and SKUs as our business grows. Technical Skills Required: Strong expertise with the Shopify API (REST/GraphQL), liquid, and custom Shopify app development. Deep knowledge of Stripe Connect (Custom or Express accounts) for complex payment splitting and payout flows. Frontend/Backend development experience (Node.js, Ruby on Rails, PHP, or Python frameworks suitable for Shopify apps). Experience implementing e-signature APIs (e.g., DocuSign, HelloSign) or secure custom signing boxes. Database management and custom reporting dashboard design. To Apply, Please Provide: Examples of previous custom Shopify apps or portal integrations you have built. Direct examples of marketplaces or splitting engines you have built utilizing Stripe Connect. A brief high-level overview of how you propose to architect this (e.g., building a completely custom headless app vs. modifying an existing app like Webkul).

Hi, This project is primarily about payment flow and permissions, with Shopify serving as the storefront and the distributor portal handling its own order, payout, tax, and reporting logic. The key challenge is keeping invoices, shipping, taxes, and Stripe Connect payouts synchronized while preserving the master company’s control over SKUs and fees. My first step would be to decide the architecture: a custom Shopify app/portal or an extension of an existing marketplace app. Then I’d map distributor onboarding, SKU assignment, invoice creation, and payment-link workflows so the portal can support connected accounts, accurate fee routing, and reliable order status updates. This foundation also supports labels, reporting, and admin visibility. Relevant experience includes: - Distributor registration and login - Master SKU and inventory control - Secure invoice creation and payment links - Stripe Connect payout logic - Admin and distributor reporting dashboards Timeline: I can review the requirements quickly, confirm the best architecture, and then move into implementation in phases once the flow is approved.

Hi — Elias here from Miami. I understand you're looking to develop a custom multi-vendor portal on Shopify, which is a significant step for your e-commerce business. The goal is to create a seamless experience for both vendors and customers while ensuring scalability and reliability. What usually matters most here is managing user roles and permissions effectively. A common issue in systems like this is ensuring that each vendor has the right level of access without compromising security. The tricky part is often integrating Stripe Connect to manage payments across multiple vendors while keeping the system maintainable. My approach would focus on structuring the portal with an emphasis on user experience and performance. I’d prioritize a robust backend that allows for easy scaling, ensuring that as new vendors join, the system remains stable. I've worked on similar e-commerce solutions where I implemented complex user role management and payment integrations, so I understand potential pitfalls. A few questions to better understand the scope: Q1 – What specific features do you envision for vendor management? Q2 – How do you plan to handle payment distribution among vendors? Q3 – Are there any particular Shopify apps or integrations you’re considering? Happy to discuss the details and suggest the best technical approach. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi, I'm a senior developer with 20+ years of experience building custom e-commerce and payment integrations, including multi-vendor systems with Stripe Connect and Shopify, so this is a direct fit. I'll build a dedicated distributor portal as a Shopify custom app with Node.js backend and React frontend, tightly integrating Stripe Connect to split payments dynamically—100% to distributors after fees—while keeping master admin control over SKUs and inventory. The portal will include distributor registration with e-signature, invoice generation with tax and shipping automation, fulfillment tools for shipping labels, and reporting dashboards for both distributors and admins. I'll structure the database for scalability, implement secure API flows for Stripe Connect, and ensure all workflows align with Shopify’s API limits to avoid future conflicts. I can start immediately.

Your Stripe Connect flow is the crux here: customers paying 100% of product, tax, and shipping straight into each Distributor's own bank, with only the ~2.9% card processing fee peeled off. I'd build this as a custom embedded Shopify app rather than bending Webkul/Marketcube, so the payout logic and admin-only SKU control aren't fighting a marketplace plugin's assumptions. Distributors onboard through a portal linked from your storefront and complete Stripe Connect Express onboarding, where the Tax ID/SSN is verified by Stripe's KYC rather than stored by us. They only manage inventory on the 7 SKUs you assign (2 distributor packages, 5 consumer products), and product creation stays locked to the master admin. When a Distributor raises an invoice, I generate a Stripe PaymentIntent routed to their connected account, auto-calc local sales tax and live shipping from their fulfillment location, then email the customer a secure hosted payment link to complete the order. One thing to scope: Stripe's own fee is pulled before payout, so do you want customers to cover that fee at checkout (Distributor nets a true 100%) or Distributors to absorb it? Muhammad Saad

Hello, Your project requires much more than a standard Shopify marketplace setup—it needs a scalable distributor ecosystem with controlled inventory, Stripe Connect payment routing, invoicing, fulfillment, reporting, and compliance. I have experience building custom Shopify applications, integrating Shopify APIs (GraphQL/REST), and implementing complex Stripe Connect workflows, including automated payouts and marketplace-style payment distribution. My approach would be to build a modular custom Distributor Portal integrated with Shopify, keeping the master company in full control of SKUs while allowing distributors to manage inventory, create invoices, print shipping labels, access marketing assets, sign agreements digitally, and monitor sales. This architecture will be designed for future expansion without major redevelopment. Question 1: Do you prefer a fully custom Shopify app or extending an existing marketplace solution like Webkul? Question 2: Which shipping carrier(s) do distributors use for label generation? Question 3: Is Stripe Connect already configured, or should it be implemented from scratch?

Shopify's checkout can't split 100% of a payment to a distributor's own bank account while skimming just the processing fee — that's a Stripe Connect account problem, not a Shopify app problem. • Distributor portal separate from Shopify admin: registration capturing Name, Email, Phone, Address, Business Name, Tax ID, with SKU-level inventory access only — no product creation rights • Stripe Connect integration for the 100%-to-distributor payout: connected accounts, dynamic fee routing (processing fee to master, rest to distributor), payout dashboard • Distributor-created invoices with automatic tax and real-time shipping calculation, secure payment link emailed to the customer • Order dashboard: pending orders, shipping label printing, per-distributor and consolidated company-wide sales/tax reporting • Compliance section for viewing and e-signing the Distributor Agreement during onboarding Given the scope (7 SKUs, a Stripe Connect payout engine, e-signing, reporting), I'd propose Phase 1 covering distributor registration plus the Stripe Connect payout core and basic invoicing within this budget, with fulfillment tooling and full reporting scoped as a follow-on. We've built Shopify API integrations with custom payment-splitting logic before, so architecting around Stripe Connect's fee-routing rather than fighting Shopify's native checkout is familiar ground. Happy to walk through custom app vs. Webkul/Marketcube trade-offs once we align on scope.
