Built a e-commerce store with Poolside?
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 Poolside apps
Building a e-commerce store with Poolside 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 Poolside e-commerce store
Common Poolside issues we fix
Beyond e-commerce store-specific issues, these are Poolside patterns we commonly fix.
Code-only focus misses authentication requirements
Poolside generates high-quality application code but doesn't add authentication, authorization middleware, or access control by default — leaving API endpoints and data unprotected.
Generated code may not fit your project's architecture
Poolside produces idiomatic, high-quality code, but without deep knowledge of your project's specific architectural patterns, the generated code may conflict with your established service layers and module boundaries.
No deployment or infrastructure awareness
Poolside focuses on application code and does not generate Dockerfiles, deployment scripts, environment configuration, or CI/CD setup. Production deployment requires separate work.
Input validation present in generated code but not at API boundaries
Poolside validates data within functions but may skip HTTP-layer input validation — allowing malformed or oversized payloads to reach application logic before being caught.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a e-commerce store with Poolside?
Poolside 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 Poolside leave in e-commerce stores?
Common issues include: code-only focus misses authentication requirements, generated code may not fit your project's architecture, no deployment or infrastructure awareness. For a e-commerce store specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for payment security and pci compliance.
How do I make my Poolside e-commerce store production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Poolside-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 Poolside-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.
