Project Overview
This e-commerce platform was developed to provide a complete online shopping experience. It includes features like product browsing, filtering, user accounts, shopping carts, secure checkout, and payment processing. The frontend was built with React for a responsive and interactive UI, while the backend uses Node.js with Express to handle API requests and MongoDB to store data. Stripe API was integrated for payment processing.

Challenges
One of the main challenges was implementing a secure and seamless checkout process while integrating with payment gateways. I had to ensure data security while providing a smooth user experience.
Solution
I implemented a multi-step checkout process with appropriate validation at each step and used Stripe's secure elements to handle payment information. This allowed for a seamless user experience while maintaining security standards.
