Freelance project — 2025
TASLR Store
TASLR needed a fully functional online store supporting the region's COD-dominant buying habits alongside standard card payments, with a product catalog spanning multiple categories and a checkout flow adapted to Qatar's address format (zone, building, street rather than a generic US-style address form). I built the storefront on WooCommerce with category filtering, wishlist functionality, and a checkout experience offering both Cash on Delivery and card payment as first-class options.

- WooCommerce
- PHP
- JavaScript
- CSS
- Vodafone SMS API




Custom SMS notification plugin
Beyond the storefront itself, I built a custom WordPress plugin integrating the Vodafone SMS API to notify different roles at each stage of the order lifecycle: the admin, the stock manager, and the delivery driver each receive tailored SMS notifications triggered by specific order events (new order, stock update, dispatch, delivery), rather than a single generic notification. Message content and trigger logic were built specifically for TASLR's operational workflow, not adapted from an existing notification plugin.
This is the kind of operational automation, tracking an order through distinct roles and lifecycle stages, that's directly relevant to the order-confirmation and fulfillment automation I'm building into my current COD storefront SaaS project.
Custom COD checkout logic
The default WooCommerce checkout wasn't built for Qatar's address format or COD-first buying behavior, so I customized the checkout flow to capture zone, street, and building fields instead of a generic address line, and configured Cash on Delivery as a first-class payment option alongside card payment rather than an afterthought.
This work directly informs the trust-scoring and order-confirmation features I'm building into my current COD storefront SaaS project, having seen firsthand where standard ecommerce checkout assumptions break down for the Algerian and Gulf markets.
