Need ongoing help adding products to eCommerce store Shopify WooCommerce CMS data entry

I have a backlog of about 150 products that need to be listed on my website, and I am looking for someone to help me get them live. There is no coding involved and you do not need any design skills. You will be working directly inside my Shopify admin panel or WooCommerce dashboard depending on the batch of products. For each item you will need to upload the product images that I provide, write the title exactly as it appears on my spec sheet, input the description which is already prepared, set the correct price and compare at price if applicable, and assign the item to the proper collection or category like kitchenware or wall art. Attention to detail is very important here. Some products have variations like size or color and I need those set up correctly so customers can select the right option. I also need the image order to make sense, usually the main product shot first followed by lifestyle images. If this initial batch goes well I have new products arriving every month and I would love to have a reliable person to hand this off to on an ongoing basis. It is not a high pressure fast paced job but I do need someone who communicates well and can stick to a simple style guide I will provide. It takes me an hour to upload 3-4 products so I estimated it'll take an expert 35 - 40 hours to upload the entire 150 products. Please let me know a little about your experience with any CMS platform and if you have attention for repetitive tasks. I am happy to start with a small paid test batch of five products to make sure we are a good fit. Thank you.

US Developer Sought for AI Sizing Project

Ive spent the last year developing the strategy and building relationships for an AI powered computer vision system aimed at solving the fit problem in online fashion retail. The core tech is promising and we are now entering a critical 12 month phase focused on integration and market testing. The project is essentially about getting this sizing recommendation engine live with real retail partners. The heavy AI lifting is handled but the technical work required to make it a functional product for merchants and shoppers is where you come in. We need specific development support to bridge the gap between our core technology and the real world ecommerce platforms. This is a funded innovation project with clear deliverables. All the strategic product and account work is being handled stateside. What we need is a US based developer or a small team to execute on the technical roadmap from June 2026 The Technical Scope: You would be responsible for the development and integration work that turns our system into a seamless experience. This includes building a Shopify app widget using React and JavaScript so that the sizing tool appears correctly on product pages. It also involves developing the backend for a retailer dashboard which is where merchants would manage their product data and see insights. This part would be built with Python and React. On top of that there is general website functionality enhancements to ensure the tool works smoothly across different sites and of course handling API integrations and thorough testing. Who We Are Looking For: You MUST be US based. This is a non negotiable requirement tied to our funding so please do not apply if you are outside the US. The workload is estimated at 40 to 60 hours per month. Its not a steady stream of work but is structured as project based deliverables with specific milestones. You would be working under the oversight of our US based project management team. We would track deliverables in Jira or potentially using Hourspent Workspace depending on your preference. You should be comfortable working in an agile environment with sprints and clear goals. The timeline is fixed. The project runs for 12 months from June 2026. You must be able to confirm your availability for this entire period. You need to have strong experience with React and JavaScript for the frontend widget and dashboard work. You also need Python for the backend development. Direct experience with the Shopify API is a must as the widget integration is central to the project. You should be comfortable working with RESTful APIs in general and have solid Git and GitHub practices for version control. The Budget and How to Apply: The total budget available for this 12 month technical scope is a maximum of $30k. This is a fixed amount and payment would be tied directly to the completion of agreed upon milestones. To apply please send me a message with the following information: Your hourly rate. Your best estimate of the total hours you think this scope of work would require. Your total cost estimate based on your hourly rate and estimated hours. Please keep the 30k maximum in mind. A clear confirmation that you are based in the United States. A confirmation of your availability for the full project timeline from June 2026 I'm looking for a partner who understands the execution needed here and can commit to the timeline. If this sounds like a fit for your skills and availability I would love to hear from you. Thanks for reading.

Help migrating 5k products from legacy database to modern system

I own a small vintage design marketplace that has been around since the early 2000s. Our product database was built in FileMaker Pro around 2003 and has not been significantly updated since. It works but it is increasingly difficult to maintain and lacks fields we now need. We have approximately 5000 products in the database. Most are furniture and lighting from the mid century through the 1990s. Each product has two images stored on a local server. The image filenames are referenced in the database but the structure is not standardized. We need to migrate this data to a modern database platform. The project involves exporting all records, downloading the two images per product, and importing everything into a new system. We are open to platforms. MySQL, PostgreSQL, Airtable, or similar. We need advice on what makes sense for our scale and future needs. We also need to add several new fields that do not currently exist. Product category. Color. Year of manufacture. Country of origin. Material. Condition. Some of this information exists in notes fields or in separate paper records. Some will need to be researched and entered. We have a staff member who can assist with manual data entry for missing information but we need the structure in place first. Finally we want to generate product descriptions for items that currently have none. Approximately 2000 of the 5000 products lack any description. We would like to use an AI tool to generate accurate descriptive text based on the product images and the other metadata we have. We are not looking for creative writing. Just clear factual descriptions that tell a customer what the object is. A desk. Walnut. 1960s. Good condition. That level. We are a small team and do not have deep in house technical expertise. We need someone who can handle the entire migration process, advise on the new database structure, and set up the AI description workflow. We can provide access to the current system and all files. If you have done similar work with product data or legacy migrations please reach out. Tell me what you would recommend and what a project like this might look like in terms of time and cost. Budget is open. We want to do this once and do it right. Thank you.
