Built a e-commerce store with GitHub Copilot?
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 GitHub Copilot apps
Building a e-commerce store with GitHub Copilot 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 GitHub Copilot e-commerce store
Common GitHub Copilot issues we fix
Beyond e-commerce store-specific issues, these are GitHub Copilot patterns we commonly fix.
Insecure code patterns from training data
Copilot sometimes suggests patterns from its training data that are known to be insecure — like using eval(), innerHTML, or outdated crypto functions.
Hardcoded secrets in suggestions
Copilot occasionally suggests placeholder API keys or credentials that look real and get committed to version control.
Inconsistent code style across files
Different completions use different patterns — sometimes callbacks, sometimes async/await, sometimes .then(). The codebase becomes inconsistent over time.
Subtly incorrect logic
Copilot completions often look correct but contain off-by-one errors, wrong comparison operators, or missed edge cases that cause intermittent bugs.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a e-commerce store with GitHub Copilot?
GitHub Copilot 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 GitHub Copilot leave in e-commerce stores?
Common issues include: insecure code patterns from training data, hardcoded secrets in suggestions, inconsistent code style across files. For a e-commerce store specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for payment security and pci compliance.
How do I make my GitHub Copilot e-commerce store production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most GitHub Copilot-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 GitHub Copilot-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.
