Thanks for being so welcoming everyone The idea was to make a book subscription service whereby people pay £x/mth for a book to be delivered, alongside some other treats. Having a random book each month would work, but I thought it would be nice to offer people a small amount of choice. There are a bunch of existing similar box subscriptions out there. I'm happy to give it a go myself before engaging professional help, but I'd like to make sure I'm at least heading out down the right path in terms of the best way to implement it all.

Thanks for the advice. Roughly how much do you reckon it would cost to get something like that built? I've only ever done everything myself before! I could do all the graphics and write any copy, and once it's built I reckon I could maintain it and tweak the code if anything needed changing.

Hi all, I have a reasonable amount of experience in creating WordPress websites, plus I've made a couple of specific websites from scratch using html/css/js. However, I'd like to build a website for a monthly subscription delivery service I'm thinking of launching, and I'm wondering whether it's possible just in WordPress with the right add-ons or if I'll need something more involved. I'm willing to pay someone to do the bits I can't do if necessary. The website will need to: Advertise and describe the service (no problems with WordPress for this one!). Allow customers to sign up for a monthly/3-month/annual subscription. Take payment for the subscriptions (ideally through something like Stripe). Let the customer choose from a set of categories (one or multiple) for their subscription, and update their preferences as necessary. Ideally allow me to manage the catalogue of different items I have in stock for delivery each month (although this can be back-end only as the customer won't see this). Each month, provide the customer with a random choice of 3 of the items in stock to choose from for delivery. I think #6 will be hardest to implement... Looking forward to hearing your tips and suggestions!
