eCommerce Platform
A full-stack spare-parts store with a non-technical-friendly admin panel and a WhatsApp checkout flow — in production for 6+ months.
// problem
A spare-parts shop owner — non-technical — needed an online store he could run himself, without a payment gateway (uncommon for his customers) and without learning a complex admin.
// approach
I built a mobile-responsive admin panel with plain CRUD for products, categories, and image uploads, designed so a non-technical owner can run it from his phone. Checkout skips card processing entirely: it composes a pre-filled WhatsApp message with the full order and routes it to the owner to confirm.
Deployment uses Alpine-based Docker images for fast reproducible builds, with automated daily backups on my self-hosted server.
// outcome
Live and in daily use for 6+ months with zero unplanned downtime. The WhatsApp-redirect flow matched how the shop's customers already buy, so adoption needed no customer education.
