What the business needed
A store the owner could run without a developer on call. Products, prices and stock the owner can change, card payments that just work, and US sales tax handled properly from the first order.
What we built
- A storefront and product pages, with an admin area for products, prices and stock.
- Card checkout through Stripe, with sales tax worked out automatically at checkout.
- Stock that can't be sold twice. An item is held while someone pays and released if they don't.
- An order confirmation page, a private order status link and shipping emails with tracking.
- Nightly backups kept off the server, with a restore tested against the real database.
Where it is now
The store went live in October 2026 and has taken real paid orders. Delivery is US only for now, and the owner packs and ships each order from the admin.
