I’m ready to launch a full-stack e-commerce web application that does more than just sell products. Beyond the usual catalogue, cart, and checkout, shoppers will create their own profiles, follow friends, exchange direct messages, and see a personalised news feed that highlights new items, promotions, and community activity. Stripe will power all payment processing, so the codebase must follow their latest API guidelines and handle secure tokenisation, refunds, and webhook events. The social features (profiles, real-time messaging, and feed) need to integrate seamlessly with the shopping experience—no bolt-ons. Here’s how I see the final hand-off: • Responsive front-end tied to a fast, modular back-end • Fully functional Stripe checkout, saved cards, and order history • User profile creation and editing, avatar upload, and follower logic • Real-time messaging (WebSocket or equivalent) with basic moderation tools • News feed that aggregates new products, user interactions, and promotions • Admin panel for product, order, and user management • Deployment scripts and concise README so I can spin up staging and production quickly Clean, well-documented code and short video walkthroughs of key flows will serve as acceptance criteria. If any third-party libraries or services are required beyond Stripe, please highlight them early so we stay on the same page.
