E-Commerce Store challenges we solve
Common e-commerce store issues in apps built with Aider or Cursor.
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).
Performance under load
Product launches and sales events spike traffic. Your site needs to handle 10x normal load without crashing. Image optimization, caching, and CDN configuration are essential for a fast shopping experience.
