The Challenge
Teacher Pop Shop required a scalable eCommerce infrastructure that could support vendor fulfillment, custom shipping logic, and operational automation beyond the limits of a standard WooCommerce setup.
I developed a custom shipping and vendor-management layer built around WooCommerce, Shippo API, webhook tracking, and vendor-specific fulfillment workflows. The system was designed to reduce manual shipping work, improve checkout reliability, and support future multi-vendor growth.
Key Deliverables
USPS rate calculation and Shippo API integration
Address validation and error handling at checkout
Order-level fulfillment logic with vendor-specific routing
Vendor notification system with tracking updates
Admin-configurable shipping controls and overrides
Webhook-driven status sync between Shippo and WooCommerce
The Outcome
A production-ready eCommerce fulfillment system that automated vendor shipping workflows, reduced manual processing, and created a scalable foundation for multi-vendor growth — all running natively inside WordPress and WooCommerce.
