MERN E-Commerce Platform Development

I’m building a full-stack e-commerce site on the MERN stack and need someone to take it from blank repo to production-ready. The core flow is simple yet must be rock-solid: browse products, add them to a cart, and complete checkout through Stripe.

You’ll wire up MongoDB, Express, React and Node so that the cart state is preserved, totals are calculated accurately, and Stripe handles payments securely (webhooks, error handling, test & live keys, etc.). A clean, responsive React UI is expected; feel free to use Material-UI or Tailwind if it speeds things up as long as the design stays minimal and mobile-friendly.

Deliverables
• Fully functional shopping cart connected to a MongoDB product catalog
• Checkout route and front-end flow integrated with Stripe (payment, confirmation, webhooks)
• Basic admin or script to add / edit products so I can maintain inventory
• Clear README with setup, .env sample, and deployment steps for Heroku/Vercel or similar
• Source code in a Git repo plus live demo link for final review

Later we might layer in user accounts or reviews, so structure the code for easy feature toggles and component reuse. Clean modular architecture, sensible comments, and concise commits will be the marks of success here.
