MERN From Scratch 2023 | eCommerce Platform

This is a single-project course, meaning that we spend almost 13 hours building an eCommerce shop using the MERN stack along with Redux Toolkit. We start from absolute scratch with an empty folder. You will learn everything from setting up a server, modeling data, creating a MongoDB database, seeding data, creating the UI, managing state with Redux, authentication with JWT and much much more.

The ProShop platform that we will be building will include the following features:

• Full-featured shopping cart with quantity

• Product reviews and ratings

• Top products carousel

• Product pagination

• Product search feature

• User profile with orders

• Admin product management

• Admin user management

• Admin Order details page

• Mark orders as delivered option

• Checkout process (shipping, payment method, etc)

• PayPal / credit card integration

• Custom database seeder script
