Set up an e-commerce store on Shopify or WooCommerce with up to 20 products, payment processing, and shipping.
A vetted high-school student will build and launch a functioning e-commerce store on either Shopify or WooCommerce, complete with up to 20 products, live payment processing, and shipping rate configuration. This is for founders, small manufacturers, or retailers who need a storefront operational within 21 days but lack the time or technical depth to handle setup themselves. You'll hand off a store ready to accept orders and process payments from day one.

Common use cases
Wholesale brand opening DTC
A wholesale soap brand opening DTC needs a Shopify store with 20 SKUs, subscription support via ReCharge, and a wholesale-portal app for existing accounts.
Brick-and-mortar adding online ordering
A small gift shop adding online ordering needs a WooCommerce store with 20 products, local pickup, USPS integration, and a Square POS sync.
Local B2B supplier moving to online quotes
A regional agricultural equipment distributor has 18 SKUs currently sold via phone and email. They need an online ordering portal to reduce sales admin overhead and let customers place orders 24/7. The student sets up the store, catalogs all products with bulk pricing tiers, and integrates Stripe so payment clears immediately when an order arrives.
Niche subscription box creator launching first storefront
A founder curating artisanal tea boxes wants to sell subscriptions and one-time purchases on a single platform. The student configures the store to support both product types, connects the payment processor, and sets up shipping to six regional zones so costs reflect actual carrier rates.
Freelance artist selling digital and physical goods together
An illustrator wants to sell downloadable prints and postcards side-by-side. The student builds the store to distinguish digital (instant delivery, no shipping) from physical (cart-calculated shipping), ensures PayPal processes both order types, and adds email receipt templates so buyers know what to expect.
Frequently asked questions
Can the student set up product variants like size, color, or material, or do I have to choose one version per SKU?
Yes, variants are included. The student can configure up to 20 parent products with multiple variants each (e.g., one t-shirt product with XS–3XL and five color options). This counts as a single product entry, so you can offer flexibility without hitting the 20-product limit.
What if my products are priced very differently—some $2 items and some $200 items? Does pricing configuration have any constraints?
No constraints. The student will set individual prices per product and variant, handle decimal pricing, and configure tax rules so a $2 impulse buy and a $200 piece are taxed correctly. Both Shopify and WooCommerce support unlimited price ranges.
I have product images already but they're JPEGs in different sizes and orientations. Will the student resize or optimize them, or do I need to submit perfect files?
The student will upload your JPEGs and PNGs as-is; both platforms auto-optimize for web display. If images are blurry, extremely small (under 500px), or rotated wrong, flag that in your submission and the student can advise on crops or re-exports, but professional photo retouching and background removal are out of scope.
I operate in three states with different tax rates. Will the store calculate sales tax correctly for each?
Yes. The student will configure tax rules by state (or jurisdiction) so customers in California, Texas, and Ohio each see the correct rate at checkout. You'll need to provide your nexus states and rates; the student inputs them into the tax settings.
After the student hands off the store, can I add more products myself, or is that a separate project?
You can add products yourself after launch—the dashboard training document covers the process. This project covers setup and the first 20 products; ongoing product additions and content updates are your responsibility, though you may request follow-on micro-internships for batch uploads or optimization.
