SHOPIFY CUSTOM APP MIGRATION — LIFT-AND-SHIFT, NO DEVELOPMENT I'm looking for an experienced developer to perform a clean lift-and-shift migration of two existing custom Shopify apps from my current development agency's hosting infrastructure onto hosting that I own and control. This is purely a migration job. No new features, no code changes, no enhancements. The apps work as intended in their current state — I simply need them moved. THE TWO APPS BEING MIGRATED 1. A custom currency recorder app used for dual-currency (KYD / USD) transaction reconciliation in our Shopify store. 2. A custom Shopify POS UI extension that integrates with our in-store loyalty program (Jericommerce). Both apps are currently live and in operational use. They cannot go dark, even briefly, during the migration. WHAT I NEED FROM YOU - Coordinate with my current developers to obtain the source code, environment variables, deployment configurations, and any other materials needed to redeploy the apps on new infrastructure. - Recommend a target hosting environment that makes the most sense long-term for this kind of workload (e.g. Render, Heroku, AWS, DigitalOcean) and explain why. - Stand up the new hosting environment under accounts that I own. - Deploy the apps onto the new hosting in a staging state, run them in parallel with the existing deployment, and confirm they are functioning identically to the current production version. - Confirm with me, in writing, that the migrated apps are fully functional before any cutover takes place. I will not authorize the cutover until you have demonstrated the new deployment works as expected. - Execute the cutover — switching webhook endpoints, DNS, Shopify app URLs, or any other relevant routing — in a way that produces zero downtime or operational disruption. - Verify all Shopify connections (webhooks, OAuth, app proxies, POS UI extension registration, etc.) are correctly wired to the new hosting after cutover. - Document the new deployment so I have a clear record of where each app lives, how it is accessed, how the environment is configured, and how to maintain it going forward. WHAT I AM NOT LOOKING FOR - No new features. - No code refactoring. - No "improvements" to the apps. - No exploratory audit or rebuild. - The apps work. They just need to live somewhere else. If you see something in the codebase you'd genuinely recommend addressing, flag it to me separately — but do not change it as part of this engagement. Migration first, anything else later, only if I ask. WHO YOU'LL BE COORDINATING WITH This migration involves three parties: 1. You (the migration contractor). 2. My current development team (who will provide source code and deployment details). 3. Me (overseeing the engagement and approving the cutover). You will need to be comfortable coordinating with my current developers professionally to obtain what you need from them. The relationship is winding down, but the handover should be cordial and efficient. I will introduce you to them directly once we have an agreed scope and timeline. WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IN A CONTRACTOR - Strong experience with Shopify custom apps (private apps, public apps, app extensions, POS UI extensions). - Strong experience with cloud hosting and deployment (Render, Heroku, AWS, DigitalOcean, or equivalent). - Experience with zero-downtime migrations and parallel-deployment cutover patterns. - Comfortable working with code you did not write and deploying it without making changes. - Direct, honest communication style. I do not need to be managed or shielded — I just need clear updates and reliable execution. - IP ownership: all deployment configuration, hosting accounts, environment variables, and documentation produced under this engagement belong to me. QUOTE AND PROPOSAL Please provide: - A fixed-price quote for the full migration as described above. - Your recommended hosting environment and rationale. - An estimated timeline from kickoff to cutover. - A brief description of your relevant prior experience (Shopify app migrations, hosting transitions, or similar). - Any clarifying questions you have before quoting. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I have an experimental production model for a video game project that needs a contract manager to draft contracts according to our needs, not industry standard practices. We are not doing this the industry standard way, so the industry standard methods likely will not apply. I need an independent thinker that can take unique information from our project and can draft a solid, fair, legal binding contract for everyone involved. Will require conversation to understand the process due to the unique production design.

Organizational Overview The International Service Organization of SAA is a non-profit organization whose mission is to serve member groups by helping carry the SAA message of recovery to the sex addict who still suffers. ISO operates seven independent public-facing websites, including one Drupal site, four WordPress sites, and two HTML4 sites. ISO is in the process of revising its web presence to bring all seven sites into one multi-site with various subsites. This project was initiated last year with the completion of a Salesforce-backed meeting search implementation on Drupal. Project Overview ISO is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to design, develop, and deliver a replacement for the existing SAA store website. The current store is built on ShopSite using custom HTML, JavaScript, and CSS and relies on an outdated PHP environment that cannot be safely upgraded. This creates ongoing security, maintenance, and operational risks. This RFP is focused solely on the store website and is separate from prior or future initiatives related to meeting search, service collaboration, or discussion forums. Project Objective The objective of this project is to provide a modern, secure, and maintainable e-commerce solution that allows members and the public to purchase physical and digital items and enables members to register for two annual events. This project is intended to replace the existing store with a functionally equivalent solution while eliminating technical debt and upgrade constraints. ISO anticipates ongoing web development needs in the coming years. A successful engagement may lead to additional work and continued partnership. Project Governance and Oversight Requirements ISO requires the selected vendor to: • Participate in weekly status meetings with budget burn reporting • Provide detailed time tracking by task • Support milestone-based not-to-exceed budgets • Request formal written approval for scope changes • Allow UAT before milestone approval Scope of Work – Store Website Functional Requirements The store website must provide the following core functionality: • User-friendly browsing of products and categories • Product detail pages with descriptions and pricing • Event registration or a strategy to provide event registration outside the site (see below) • Shopping cart and checkout functionality • Secure payment processing compliant with PCI standards • Automated order confirmation and customer communication • Mobile-friendly, responsive design • Compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards (or equivalent) • Support for screen readers, keyboard navigation, and assistive technologies Administrative Requirements • Staff-accessible product management (add/edit/remove products, pricing) • Order management and basic reporting • Ability to manage content without custom development • Configurable and flexible shipping rules • Ability to manage shipping tiers, regions, and pricing adjustments without custom development • Ability to calculate sales tax • Support for domestic and international shipping configurations Technical Requirements • The solution must run on a modern, supported technology stack. • The platform must allow regular updates to core software and dependencies. • The solution should align with ISO’s broader web presence strategy, with platform direction to be informed by vendor recommendations. • The solution must not rely on outdated PHP versions or unsupported libraries. • Solutions must minimize reliance on custom code wherever possible. • Solutions should avoid proprietary architectures that create long-term vendor lock-in. • The solution must be maintainable by ISO staff with reasonable training and without ongoing developer dependence for routine updates. Event Registration Considerations • Vendors should propose options for supporting event registration (annual Conference and convention). • Registration may be handled within the store or via an external tool. • ISO will evaluate cost, sustainability, and maintainability. • Vendors should clearly outline the cost structure and long-term maintenance implications of each proposed approach. • Provide one or both of the following: 1. Plan to handle event registration directly within the store, including implementation and maintenance costs. 2. Plan to handle registration completely outside of the store, including implementation and maintenance costs, if known. Integrations Any solution proposed must be able to integrate with Salesforce and/or QuickBooks for inventory, financial tracking, and reporting at a later date. Actual integration is out of scope for this project. Vendors should clearly identify assumptions and multi-project approaches related to integrations. Out of Scope This project does not include redesign or replacement of non-store ISO websites, changes to Salesforce configuration, or implementation of future member features unless explicitly proposed as optional add-ons. Desired Outcomes • Reliable and secure SAA Store • Reduced long-term maintenance risk • Mobile first, easy to use, and accessible user experience • A stable foundation for potential future enhancements Vendor Qualifications • Proven experience designing and implementing e-commerce websites • Familiarity with secure payment systems • Ability to deliver solutions that can be maintained in-house • Familiarity with nonprofit or mission-driven organizations is preferred but not required Proposal Requirements Vendor Information: • Overview of relevant experience and qualifications. Technical Approach: • Description of the proposed technology stack. • Method for event registration. • Approach to future integration of Salesforce, QuickBooks, and other required platforms. • Timeline and key milestones for the project. Budget and Pricing: • Detailed cost breakdown for each website (including cost of software purchases/licenses). • Ongoing maintenance and support fees. References: • At least three references from previous clients. • Examples of similar completed projects. Evaluation Criteria Proposals will be evaluated based on the following criteria: • Demonstrated understanding of the project scope and objectives. • Technical expertise and proposed solutions. • Cost-effectiveness and value. • Relevant experience and references.
