Build an E-Commerce Website Using Next.js

In today’s digital economy, online shopping is the norm.

Users expect fast, secure, and seamless experiences when browsing products, making purchases, and managing their orders. Yet many e-commerce platforms fall short, often struggling with responsive design, real-time interactions, secure user management, and scalable architecture.

This project offers a robust, full-featured solution.

You will build an online store from the ground up using MongoDB, Express.js, Next.js, and Node.js. The platform emphasizes a professional, user-friendly design with scalable architecture and a clean, modular codebase.

Along the way, you will implement core e-commerce features such as product browsing, cart management, checkout, and order tracking. This project is intended for intermediate to advanced developers who want to strengthen their full stack JavaScript skills and gain hands-on experience building scalable applications.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this project, you will have built an e-commerce platform that:

• Supports product browsing with detailed information, images, pricing, and availability.

• Provides secure account management using JSON Web Token (JWT)–based authentication.

• Implements a shopping cart system where users can add, remove, and update items with state persistence.

• Features a responsive, mobile-friendly design styled with Tailwind CSS.

• Follows clean architecture principles using RESTful APIs and Mongoose for robust data modeling.
