Seasonal/Holiday Demand: Promotions and inventory management for peak periods (Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, etc.).
Dual Customer Base: B2B (florists/wholesalers) + B2C (individual buyers).
Cross-Border E-Commerce Pain Points
Cross-border payments (multi-currency, letter of credit).
Automated customs document generation (e.g., phytosanitary certificates).
International logistics tracking (API integration with DHL, FedEx, etc.).

WordPress (CMS) + WooCommerce (e-commerce) + Multilingual plugins (WPML/Polylang).
Custom theme: Responsive design with floral visuals (image sliders, videos of cultivation bases).
Key Plugin Extensions
Logistics: WooCommerce Shipping + Table Rate plugin (country/weight-based pricing).
Payments: Stripe (credit cards), PayPal, local payment methods (e.g., GrabPay in Southeast Asia).
Preservation Solutions: Custom fields for “Best Display Period” and “Transportation Loss Rate.”
Performance Optimization
CDN (Cloudflare) + Lazy Load for images.
Database optimization (Redis caching) for holiday traffic spikes.
III. Functional Module Design
