Hi Shopify community :waving_hand:

I am looking for an experienced Shopify developer to build a custom Ambassador Portal app for my store — Daylite Digital / African Safari Digital, a proudly Namibian travel and lifestyle brand.

I have a complete, detailed build brief ready. Here is a summary of what needs to be built:

What the app must do:

  • Public registration page at /pages/ambassador where people apply to become brand ambassadors

  • Face recognition and ID verification on registration

  • Mandatory Meet & Greet knowledge questionnaire before application proceeds

  • AI-assisted approval flow with auto-approval or Email + WhatsApp notification to owner

  • Auto-generated ambassador ref numbers (format: JOHN-NA-001)

  • Three tiers: Bronze / Silver / Gold with automatic unlock logic

  • Meet & Greet paid service with automatic 75% / 25% payment split

  • Trip sales commission tracking at 7.5% flat

  • Accommodation listing integration with automatic 5% deduction per booking

  • Ratings widget (owner + verified customers only)

  • Complaint tracking linked to tier progression

  • Friday payout tracking with EFT (South Africa) and PayPal support

  • Full admin dashboard inside Shopify

My budget: (add your budget here) Timeline: (add your preferred timeline here)

I have the full detailed brief ready to share immediately with any serious developer.

Please reply here or DM me directly.

Thank you :namibia:

Hi, these forums are not the place to hire, I’d suggest somewhere like fiverr.com or storetasker.com

Hi,

This is a very well-structured concept, and I like how clearly you’ve defined the Ambassador system for Daylite Digital / African Safari Digital. I’ve worked with Shopify-based systems and custom workflows like this, and I can help you bring this into a clean, scalable app inside Shopify.

Here’s how I’d approach your requirements:

Understanding of the build:
You’re essentially creating a full ambassador ecosystem with:

  • Structured onboarding (application, verification, questionnaire)

  • Tier-based progression (Bronze / Silver / Gold)

  • Commission + payout tracking

  • Service monetization (Meet & Greet split)

  • Admin visibility and control inside Shopify

This is absolutely doable, but it will require a custom Shopify app (not just theme customization) with integrations.

Key components I will handle:

  • Custom Ambassador registration page (/pages/ambassador)

  • API integration for face recognition & ID verification

  • Questionnaire logic before submission

  • Automated approval system (AI-assisted logic + manual override)

  • Unique referral ID generation (e.g., JOHN-NA-001)

  • Tier system with upgrade logic

  • Commission tracking (7.5% + accommodation deductions)

  • Payment split logic for Meet & Greet (75% / 25%)

  • Admin dashboard داخل Shopify (clean UI for tracking ambassadors, payouts, complaints)

  • Notification system (Email + WhatsApp integration)

Timeline:
Given the complexity and integrations involved:

4–6 weeks total

  • Week 1: Architecture + setup

  • Week 2–3: Core features (registration, tiers, tracking)

  • Week 4: Payments, notifications, integrations

  • Week 5–6: Testing, refinement, deployment

Budget:

$1,500 – $2,000 USD

(This depends on final integration choices like ID verification provider, WhatsApp API, and AI logic depth.)

A few quick questions before starting:

  1. Do you already have a preferred provider for face recognition / ID verification (e.g., third-party API)?

  2. For WhatsApp notifications, are you using WhatsApp Business API already?

  3. Should ambassadors have a login dashboard to track earnings and referrals?

  4. For payouts (EFT / PayPal), do you want this automated or manually triggered from admin?

If everything aligns, I can also break this into phases so you can launch faster (MVP first, then advanced features).

Let me know how you’d like to proceed.

Best regards,
Mubby,
