About the Project

ShopNest is a full-featured e-commerce platform built for mid-size retailers who need more flexibility than off-the-shelf solutions but without the complexity of enterprise systems. The platform includes product catalog management, a high-performance shopping cart, multi-gateway payment processing, real-time inventory synchronization, and a comprehensive admin dashboard.

Designed for conversion optimization from the ground up, ShopNest delivers sub-second page loads, streamlined checkout flows, and personalized product recommendations that drive repeat purchases and higher average order values.

Requirements & Objectives

  • Build a performant product catalog supporting categories, variants, attributes, and rich media.
  • Implement shopping cart with persistent state, promo codes, and dynamic shipping calculation.
  • Integrate payment processing with Stripe and PayPal including 3D Secure authentication.
  • Synchronize inventory in real-time between online store, warehouse, and POS systems.
  • Deliver admin dashboard for order management, product editing, customer insights, and promotions.
  • Build native mobile apps for iOS and Android with push notification support.
  • Ensure sub-second page loads and Core Web Vitals compliance.
