Web scraping specialist needed: Custom built E-commerce websites
Worldwide
Project Overview I am looking for an experienced web scraping / lead generation specialist to build a database of Malaysia-based (first) ecommerce websites that are NOT using major ecommerce platforms. I am specifically interested in ecommerce websites that appear to be custom-built or where no major ecommerce platform can be detected. What I am NOT looking for Please exclude websites using common ecommerce platforms such as: * Shopify * WooCommerce * Magento / Adobe Commerce * SHOPLINE * EasyStore * BigCommerce * Wix Ecommerce * PrestaShop * OpenCart * Squarespace Commerce * Other identifiable ecommerce platforms A website should not be classified as custom-built simply because it looks customized. For example, a heavily customized Shopify website is still Shopify and should be excluded. Target Companies The company should: 1. Be based in Malaysia 2. Have its own active ecommerce website 3. Allow customers to browse products and purchase/checkout online 4. Not use a major identifiable ecommerce platform 5. Preferably be an established ecommerce business with meaningful website traffic Please prioritize larger or higher-traffic ecommerce websites where possible. International Ecommerce Signal I am particularly interested in companies that also sell internationally. Please identify whether the website shows evidence of: * International shipping * Worldwide shipping * Multiple shipping countries * Country/region selector * International storefronts * Overseas markets It is okay to mark this as Unknown if it cannot be determined. Required Fields Field Requirement Company / Brand Name Required Website Required Product Category E.g. Fashion, Beauty, Electronics, Home, F&B What They Sell Short 3 to 8 word description Ecommerce Technology Custom-Built / Unknown Technology Verification Briefly state how major ecommerce platforms were excluded Estimated Website Traffic If available International Shipping Yes / No / Unknown International Markets Countries mentioned, if available International Evidence E.g. “Worldwide Shipping”, “Ships to Singapore, Australia, US” Company LinkedIn If available Important: Technology Verification Accuracy here is very important. Before including a website, please check whether it is actually running on Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, SHOPLINE, EasyStore or another known ecommerce platform. I understand that it may not always be possible to determine the underlying technology with 100% certainty. In these cases, classify the website as: Unknown - No Major Platform Detected rather than claiming it is custom-built. Please briefly explain the tools or methodology you would use to detect the ecommerce technology when applying. Initial Test I would like to start with a small paid test of 20 to 30 qualified websites. If the quality and accuracy are good, this can become a much larger project and potentially expand into other countries. Please include in your proposal: 1. Your experience with web scraping and ecommerce technology detection 2. How you plan to discover these websites 3. How you will determine whether a website uses Shopify/WooCommerce/Magento/etc. 4. How you would identify or estimate higher-traffic websites 5. Your price per 100 qualified leads 6. A few sample results if possible The priority is quality and accuracy rather than simply producing a large number of websites.
