The business problem
The project was developed as a readable example of how the main parts of a custom e-commerce storefront fit together. It combines customer-facing shopping with product administration and account handling.
My contribution and implementation
I built a responsive storefront using PHP, MySQL and Bootstrap. The scope includes adding, editing and removing products, a shopping cart, user registration and login, and checkout with a payment-gateway integration. The source is available through the linked repository.
Delivered functionality
The result is a reference implementation that can be inspected to understand the application flow. It is not a substitute for reviewing dependencies, credentials, payment behavior and deployment settings before using a system with real customers. The Shopify versus custom-store guide explains the broader platform decision.
Project context

An open-source PHP storefront covering product management, a cart, checkout and customer accounts.
Read the connected storefront
Product management, authentication, cart and checkout form one application. The value of this reference is seeing those features cooperate rather than treating each screen as an isolated example.
Verify details in the repository
The implementation stack is PHP, MySQL and Bootstrap. Use the linked repository to inspect the current code, licence and setup requirements. Repository state may change after the portfolio account was written.
Separate study from production use
Run the code in a development environment first. Before accepting real orders, review payment configuration, account handling and deployment requirements. A portfolio example does not establish that an adaptation is ready for your customers.
