Overview
A working storefront we use internally to test catalogue scaling, checkout behaviour and order lifecycle handling before applying those patterns to client work.
- Demo record — an internal reference build, not a client engagement.
- Contains sample catalogue data only; no real products, customers or payments.
The problem
Client storefronts kept hitting the same walls: slow catalogue queries, order logic duplicated in three places, and checkouts that corrupted state when a payment webhook arrived twice.
The solution
We built a reference implementation with a normalised catalogue model, idempotent order handling and a single state machine for order transitions, plus an admin surface for stock and fulfilments.
Key features
- Product catalogue with variants and search
- Cart and checkout with provider-hosted payment fields
- Idempotent webhook handling for order state
- Admin screens for stock, orders and refunds
- Order confirmation and status emails
