Case 04 · Commerce prototype

Checkout to operations.
Without a platform circus.

A compact service-business stack designed around the work that actually needs to happen after payment.

The system

A customer chooses a pack, pays through Stripe and triggers a verified webhook. The API creates the order and sends customer and operator notifications. Subscription routes support recurring restocks.

Deliberate omissions

No custom customer account, microservice fleet or premature inventory platform. Stripe handles billing administration; the application owns only the workflow specific to the service.

What it demonstrates

Payment integration, webhook safety, transactional data modelling and pragmatic product scoping.
