Evidence basis: the local source repository was inspected across its models, routes, services and templates. The product is explicitly presented as a development build; no live launch, revenue, conversion rate or customer-volume claim is made.
Project context
Building for the buying decision and the work behind it.
Sheaker is a custom commerce system designed to give a growing ecommerce operation more control than a collection of disconnected storefront plugins. The build covers the buyer journey, product and supplier operations, pricing, fulfilment, customer accounts, marketing and reporting within one Django application.
01
The challenge
What the product needed to make easier.
A supplier-led catalogue introduces operational problems that a conventional storefront does not solve by itself: inconsistent product data, external image ownership, changing costs, variant and inventory complexity, fulfilment synchronisation and margin protection. The business also needed different staff roles to manage products, orders, customers, content and campaigns without relying on terminal access.
02
The approach
One connected experience, not isolated features.
I architected a role-based Django platform around three connected layers. The customer layer includes discovery, product variants, wishlist, cart, multi-step Stripe checkout, order tracking and return/refund requests. The operations layer handles supplier imports, data cleaning, image processing, pricing rules, catalogue management, order status and reporting. The growth layer includes technical SEO, editorial content, currency handling, analytics settings, loyalty, gift cards, affiliate journeys and email integration points.

The demonstrated outcome
What can be said responsibly.
The repository contains a substantial development build with the major commerce and operations workflows represented in models, routes, services and dashboard interfaces. It is not currently live, so this case study does not claim production sales, conversion uplift or customer adoption. The strongest demonstrated outcome is the consolidation of complex commerce requirements into a maintainable custom product architecture.
