Project Overview

Built Around the Order Lifecycle

A growing direct-to-consumer apparel brand selling premium clothing for men, women and kids needed more than an online shop. Every product comes in several sizes and colours, and a template store builder had stopped keeping up.

We designed and built a full-stack commerce platform: a mobile-first storefront for customers and an operations portal for the brand's team. It covers everything from the first product view to the last-mile delivery update, plus GST-ready reporting at month end.

We treated the project as an order lifecycle problem, not a website build. Every screen, integration and automation answers one question: what state is this order in, and what should happen next?

The Challenge

Growth Exposed the Gaps Between Tools

The brief was to give the brand full ownership of its customer experience and automate the routine work between "Paid" and "Delivered".

Manual Fulfilment

Each paid order was re-entered into a courier platform, labels downloaded by hand, and tracking numbers copied back.

Stock Drift

Sales, cancellations and returns weren't reliably reflected in variant-level inventory, so items could be oversold.

Invisible Returns

When a parcel came back to origin, nobody was notified, and refunds and restocking depended on memory.

Time-Consuming Compliance

Month-end CGST, SGST and IGST figures were rebuilt by hand from payment exports.

Generic Brand Experience

The team wanted an editorial, image-led storefront that looked as considered as the clothes.

Platform Capabilities

What We Built

A storefront, a payments layer, logistics orchestration, an operations portal and built-in reporting.

Mobile-First Storefront

Full-screen editorial banners, swipeable product carousels and a fast, variant-aware product page.

Low-Friction Accounts

Wishlist, saved addresses, order history and phone-number OTP sign-in.

SEO Foundations

Dynamic sitemaps and clean, slug-based product and category URLs.

Secure Payments

Razorpay checkout for UPI, cards and net banking, with server-side signature verification on every payment.

Atomic Orders

Orders are created in one database transaction that validates and reserves stock, preventing overselling.

Automated Refunds

Cancellations and returns trigger refunds through the gateway directly from the portal.

Spotlight

Built to Switch Carriers

Midway through the project, the brand's first courier integration ran into reliability problems in production. Because shipping logic sat behind the platform's own delivery model, we moved to a multi-carrier aggregator without changing the storefront or the order workflow.

The logistics layer is carrier-agnostic, so the brand can change shipping partners without rebuilding the business.

Security & Reliability

Verified Payments

Every Razorpay payment signature is checked on the server before an order is confirmed.

Verified Webhooks

Courier events are HMAC-signed and verified before they change an order's state.

Transactional Stock

Stock is validated and reserved inside the same transaction that creates the order.

Locked-Down Data

Role-based Firestore and Storage rules, server-only credentials and validated inputs throughout.
