"Basic web development question... Complete newbie"
So I'm looking to build a website for a subscription based ecommerce business. It needs to include user profiles with user specific logins to track purchase history and make orders editable after purchase by individual users, as well as a backend that is friendly for me to fulfill and search orders/users by dates and other perimeters. Think bevel.com or blueapron.com Is there a one stop service that provides this type of service or do I have to pay a developer to code this for me? I want to integrate it with something like squarespace or another basic service because they don't offer it. I feel like this is apart of just about every website that see but I don't where to get it. I cannot imagine that I have to find someone to code this from scratch. Suggestions? I know nothing about website building or development. ___________________________________________________________

But the user profiles will look like the Wordpress dashboard. Big Cartel may meet your needs as well, but not sure if you can obscure their branding. Salesforce may be pricey and has a steep(ish) learning curve, but will probably give you the best results.

Not to dissuade you, definitely check. But I think the business model for a lot of free services is to only offer really basic things to get you in the door and then upsell more premium services.
Things like e-commerce capability and database with logins sounds to me like a feature set that's in the premium category.
