Custom multi-step ordering flow + automated operational emails.
Needed a structured online ordering journey with business rules, permit logic, lead time handling, and clear operational notifications.
Cleaner customer journey with less checkout confusion
Key parts of the build.
What changed for the business.
What made this project work.
This build needed more than a standard WooCommerce checkout — the ordering journey had to capture the right operational info such as dates, access, waste type, positioning, and permits without overwhelming users.
The key was balancing a simple customer experience with strict business rules and reliable internal notifications, so the team could fulfil orders without manual chasing.
