Building a e-commerce store with PHP? Let us review it.
Expert code review for e-commerce stores built with PHP. We fix PHP-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common PHP issues we find
Real problems from PHP codebases we've reviewed.
SQL injection vulnerabilities
Direct variable interpolation in SQL queries instead of prepared statements or query builders, allowing attackers to read or modify database contents.
Cross-site scripting (XSS)
User input echoed directly into HTML without htmlspecialchars() or template engine escaping, enabling script injection attacks.
Insecure file uploads
File upload handlers that only check MIME types without validating file content, allowing PHP shell uploads and remote code execution.
Deprecated function usage
AI tools generate code using deprecated functions like mysql_query, ereg, and create_function that are removed in modern PHP versions.
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 PHP 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
