If you have developed the other projects in this roadmap, you will have to keep in mind everything you have learned so far: + +- JWT authentication to ensure many users can interact with it. +- Implementing simple CRUD operations. +- Interaction with external services. Here you’ll be integrating with payment gateways such as Stripe. +- A complex data model that can handle products, shopping carts, and more. + +The goal of this project is to help you understand how to build a logic-heavy application with complex data models. You will also learn how to interact with external services and handle user authentication. + +![E-Commerce API](https://assets.roadmap.sh/guest/simple-ecommerce-api-thzqo.png) + +## Requirements + +Here is a rough list of requirements for this project: + +- Ability for users to sign up and log in. +- Ability to add products to a cart. +- Ability to remove products from a cart. +- Ability to view and search for products. +- Ability for users to checkout and pay for products. + +You should also have some sort of admin panel where only you can add products, set the prices, manage inventory, and more. + +Start with building the API first and then frontend; you can use tools like Postman to interact with your API. Alternatively, build a simple frontend with HTML, CSS and some templating engine like Jinja or EJS. + +
