Online Shop Project with Stripe Integration

Building an online shop with Stripe integration is a great way to practice full-stack development while learning real-world e-commerce workflows. You’ll cover user management, product display, shopping carts, and secure payments.

Recommended stack:

  • Frontend: React or Vue
  • Backend: Node.js (Express), Django, or Laravel
  • Payment: Stripe API
  • Database: MongoDB or PostgreSQL

Key features:

  1. Product listing: Images, titles, prices, filters.
  2. Shopping cart: Add/remove items, update quantities.
  3. Checkout page: Secure input of billing and shipping info.
  4. Stripe integration:
    • Use Stripe Checkout or custom payment forms with Stripe Elements.
    • Create a backend route to handle payment_intent.
  5. Order confirmation and history.

});
