A full-featured e-commerce platform for an auto parts retailer, built with Next.js for fast server-side rendering and strong SEO performance. The platform includes a searchable product catalogue, cart management, Stripe-powered checkout, order tracking, and a full admin dashboard for inventory and order management.
Key Features
Product Catalogue
Searchable, filterable parts database with compatibility filters, product images, and detailed specifications. Optimised for SEO with SSR product pages.
Stripe Payments
Secure card checkout with Stripe Elements. Supports saved cards, real-time validation, and webhook-based order confirmation.
Order Tracking
Customers receive email updates at each order stage and can view live status from their account dashboard.
Admin Dashboard
Full inventory management, order processing, and customer management panel. Admins can update stock, mark orders as shipped, and export reports.
Next.js SSR
Product and category pages are server-rendered for fast initial load and excellent Google indexing — critical for parts discovery via search.
Cart Management
Persistent cart with quantity controls, price calculations, and stock validation. Cart state is preserved across sessions.
The Challenge
Managing inventory consistency between the catalogue and cart during high-traffic periods required careful database transaction design. I implemented optimistic locking on stock reservation to prevent overselling without degrading checkout performance.
Outcome
Fast, SEO-friendly product pages driving organic discovery. Stripe integration handling live payments with webhook-confirmed fulfilment. Clean admin workflow reducing order processing time significantly.
