MVP web app for clothing rental platform with credit system

No AI responses pleaae

This is a start-up business called Label Rotation. The idea is a men’s clothing platform where users can rent clothing using a credit system instead of buying items outright.

Label Rotation
**Your wardrobe, on rotation.**
**Labels without the commitment.**


This is **not a standard ecommerce store** — it’s a simple web app with user accounts, credit balances, and rental tracking.

---

**How it works (core concept):**

* Users browse items first
* Each item costs 1, 2, or 3 credits
* Users add items to basket
* The system calculates how many credits are needed
* If they don’t have enough, they purchase credits
* Credits are stored in their account
* Users check out using credits
* Items are kept for 30 days, with a 7-day grace period
* Card is stored for potential late/damage charges

---

**Key features required:**

* User accounts (login/signup + dashboard)
* Credit system (stored on account + deducted at checkout)
* Product browsing (filters, clean UI)
* Product pages (size, condition, brand, measurements, credit cost)
* Basket that calculates total credits required
* Checkout using credits (not money)
* Stripe integration for purchasing credits
* Save payment method for potential charges
* Terms & conditions acceptance at checkout
* Automated emails (order, return reminders, grace period warnings)

---

**Admin functionality**

I need a simple backend where I can:

* Add/edit items easily
* Upload images
* Set size, condition, credit value
* Mark items as available/unavailable
* Track which user has which item
* Adjust user credits if needed

This must be very easy to use (non-technical).

---

**Design direction:**

* Clean, minimal, premium
* Neutral colour palette
* Strong product imagery
* Fashion-focused (not a typical rental site)

---

**Tech:**

Open to recommendations

Main priority is a **simple, functional MVP** that can be improved later.

---

**Please include:**

* Recommended approach
* Estimated cost
* Timeline
* Examples of similar work

I also have a mock concept to share to help explain the flow.

Looking to start immediately and open to ongoing work if successful.
