Building a e-commerce store with Flask? Let us review it.
Expert code review for e-commerce stores built with Flask. We fix Flask-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common Flask issues we find
Real problems from Flask codebases we've reviewed.
Debug mode in production
Flask's built-in debugger left enabled in production, exposing an interactive console that allows remote code execution on the server.
Hardcoded secret key
SECRET_KEY set to a default or short string like 'secret' instead of a cryptographically random value loaded from environment variables.
No CSRF protection
Forms and state-changing endpoints without Flask-WTF CSRF tokens, enabling cross-site request forgery attacks.
Running with flask run in production
Using Flask's development server in production instead of gunicorn or uWSGI, which is single-threaded and not designed for real traffic.
E-Commerce Store challenges to solve
Key e-commerce store concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Payment security and PCI compliance
You're handling credit card transactions. While Stripe and similar services handle PCI compliance on their end, your integration must not expose card data, must verify webhook signatures, and must handle failed payments gracefully.
Inventory management
What happens when two customers buy the last item simultaneously? AI tools don't implement inventory locking or race condition prevention. Overselling damages trust and creates costly fulfillment problems.
Order processing pipeline
Orders move through states: pending, confirmed, processing, shipped, delivered. Each transition triggers actions (emails, inventory updates, accounting entries). AI tools build the checkout but not the order lifecycle.
Shipping and tax calculation
Real shipping costs vary by weight, destination, and carrier. Sales tax varies by jurisdiction. These calculations need to be accurate and up-to-date — getting them wrong is either illegal (tax) or margin-killing (shipping).
What we check
Key areas we review for Flask e-commerce store projects.
Payment integration — Stripe checkout, webhook verification, refund handling
Inventory management — stock tracking, oversell prevention
Order lifecycle — state machine, status emails, admin management
Security — PCI best practices, data protection, auth on admin routes

Frequently asked questions
Can you review a e-commerce store built with Flask?
Yes. We regularly audit Flask e-commerce store projects and understand the specific patterns and pitfalls of this combination. Our review covers security, performance, and deployment readiness.
What issues do you find in Flask e-commerce stores?
Common issues include debug mode in production and hardcoded secret key on the Flask side, combined with e-commerce store-specific concerns like payment security and pci compliance and inventory management. We check for all of these and more.
How do I make my Flask e-commerce store production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Flask e-commerce store projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address e-commerce store-specific requirements, optimize Flask performance, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How long does it take to audit a Flask e-commerce store?
Our code audit delivers a full report within 24 hours. For Flask e-commerce store projects, we check security, architecture, performance, and deployment readiness across all Flask-specific patterns. Fixes are scoped separately with a fixed quote.
