Pantry — E-Commerce Platform

A full-featured online grocery store

Overview

Complete e-commerce platform with product catalog, cart/wishlist management, user authentication, address management, Stripe payments, and admin dashboard.

Challenge

Building a production-ready e-commerce platform with full authentication, payment integration, and admin dashboard required careful planning of the architecture. The main challenges were implementing secure JWT-based authentication with httpOnly cookies, integrating Stripe payments with proper error handling, and building a comprehensive admin panel with CRUD operations.

Solution

Used Next.js 16 App Router with server components for optimal performance. Implemented a clean layered architecture with Models, Repositories, and Services for maintainable code. Used React Context for cart/wishlist state management. Stripe Payment Intents for secure card payments. Mongoose transactions for order creation (stock deduction + cart clear). Cloudinary for image uploads with separate admin/user routes for security.
