High Level Specifications: The site will be organized into two (2) main sections: Trending - products that are popular across the site including both “his” and “her” sections and “My Feed”. My feed will be personalized, by user, for those products and people that each user is following. Users can see what products are being saved by the people they follow, as well as identify/save new products by the categories they are following. Users should also be able to follow specific brands or stores. Personal Accounts Personal Accounts will be made available for both sellers and buyers. The sellers should have the ability to create an account, find their store page, and click a “Do you own this store?” tab. A “Claim it” link will be required in order to upload their products to the site. Subsequent to verification of ownership, the seller would begin posting URLs / products from their store's website into specific collections on the website. The website should have the ability to automatically add the product image, origination Store, and a Buy Now button that links to the product purchase page on the sellers ecommerce website. The seller would then need to add the country/city to which they deliver, desired price, and product category per website search parameters. All products are automatically organized based on the delivery country. The site will further require development of specific features in order to enable the business model.
