How this took shape.
Read it sideways. Stage, problem, decision, outcome.
- №01ChallengeWhat needed solving
- Cross-border beauty commerce needed international shipping, multi-currency support, and a checkout customers in different regions could actually trust.
- №02System DecisionWhy the system was shaped this way
- Next.js + Laravel + PostgreSQL behind Docker. Currency and shipping rules modeled per market, product reviews for trust signals, and a loyalty program wired into repeat-purchase mechanics.
- №03OutcomeWhat changed after shipping
- Storefront serves multiple regions from one codebase. Repeat buyers convert through the loyalty flow instead of one-off transactions, and operators manage fulfillment per market without forking the app.
