Built a e-commerce store with Firebase Studio?
We'll make it production-ready.
E-commerce apps handle money and personal data — there's zero margin for error. AI tools build great-looking product pages and shopping carts, but the critical details — inventory management, payment security, order processing, and shipping calculations — need professional attention before you take real orders.
E-Commerce Store challenges in Firebase Studio apps
Building a e-commerce store with Firebase Studio is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
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.
What we check in your Firebase Studio e-commerce store
Common Firebase Studio issues we fix
Beyond e-commerce store-specific issues, these are Firebase Studio patterns we commonly fix.
Firestore security rules too permissive by default
Firebase Studio frequently generates Firestore rules that allow authenticated users to read and write any document in the database, without scoping access to documents owned by that user.
Client-side security logic that can be bypassed
Access control checks are placed in frontend React components rather than Firestore rules or Cloud Functions, allowing users to bypass restrictions by making direct Firestore SDK calls.
Cloud Function cold start latency degrading UX
Infrequently-called Cloud Functions take 2-5 seconds to cold start, causing noticeable delays on first API calls and making the app feel slow during low-traffic periods.
Unhandled Firestore transaction conflicts
Concurrent writes to the same documents cause transaction conflicts that are not properly caught or retried, resulting in lost updates and silent data inconsistencies.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a e-commerce store with Firebase Studio?
Firebase Studio is a great starting point for a e-commerce store. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but e-commerce stores have specific requirements — payment security and pci compliance and inventory management — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Firebase Studio leave in e-commerce stores?
Common issues include: firestore security rules too permissive by default, client-side security logic that can be bypassed, cloud function cold start latency degrading ux. For a e-commerce store specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for payment security and pci compliance.
How do I make my Firebase Studio e-commerce store production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Firebase Studio-built e-commerce stores, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to fix a Firebase Studio-built e-commerce store?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger e-commerce store projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
