Build Travel Reservation Ticketing Platform (Refer to onwardticket.com)

PROJECT: ExpresswayTicket.com – Travel Reservation & Ticketing Platform Overview I am looking for an experienced full-stack developer or small development team to build ExpresswayTicket.com, a professional online travel reservation/ticketing platform. The platform will be similar in concept to OnwardTicket.com, providing customers with a simple, fast and automated way to purchase legitimate flight reservation/ticketing products online. This is intended to be a commercial production platform, not simply a landing page or basic WordPress website. The ideal developer must have experience with travel booking systems, flight APIs/GDS integrations, payment gateways, automated booking workflows and admin dashboards. ⸻ CORE CUSTOMER FLOW The intended customer journey is: 1. Customer visits ExpresswayTicket.com 2. Selects the required travel/reservation product 3. Enters passenger and flight/travel details 4. Selects the appropriate option 5. Proceeds to checkout 6. Makes payment 7. System processes the order 8. Reservation/order is generated through a legitimate travel API/GDS/supplier 9. Customer receives confirmation and reservation details by email 10. Customer can retrieve their order later using their reference/order number The final supplier/API will be selected during development. ⸻ SPECIFIC DELIVERABLES / FEATURES TO EMPHASIZE: 1. Professional booking interface: - Clean, fast, mobile-first interface inspired by leading travel platforms. - Simple origin, destination, travel date and passenger information flow. - Minimal steps from landing page to checkout. 2. Automated flight reservation/API integration: - Integration with a legitimate flight/GDS/API supplier such as Amadeus, Duffel, Sabre, Travelport or another suitable provider. - Automated availability/booking workflow. - API error handling and fallback handling. - No fake bookings or scraping. 3. Automated reservation/PNR generation: - Once payment is confirmed, the system should automatically create the appropriate reservation. - Store the booking/reference/PNR information securely. - Retrieve and display reservation information to the customer. 4. Automated order processing: - Payment → order creation → reservation → confirmation → customer email should happen automatically wherever the API supports it. - Orders should have clear statuses such as Pending, Paid, Processing, Confirmed, Failed, Cancelled and Refunded. 5. Secure payment system: - Integration with the selected payment gateway. - Real-time payment verification. - Webhook handling. - Protection against duplicate payments/orders. - Automatic reconciliation between payment and booking. 6. Instant customer confirmation: - Professional branded confirmation email immediately after successful processing. - Include booking/reference number, passenger information, itinerary/reservation details and relevant instructions. - Ability to resend confirmation from the admin dashboard. 7. Customer order retrieval: - Customers should be able to retrieve their booking without needing to contact support. - Search using order/reference number + email or another secure verification method. - Mobile-friendly confirmation/itinerary page. 8. Admin dashboard: - Complete order management including customer management and refund/cancellation handling where necessary. 9. Pricing and product management: * Admin should be able to set and modify selling prices separate from supplier/API costs; include promo codes if needed 10.Scalable API architecture ensuring that additional GDS/travel APIs can be added without rebuilding core platform.
