Phase 3: Full E-commerce: Payments & COA Hub
This phase elevates the site to a fully functional e-commerce platform with secure transactions, user reviews, and an administrative dashboard for management.
Phase Context
The Beta phase is about refining the platform into a robust, secure, and user-friendly store. The key deliverable is a fully integrated payment gateway, enabling secure online transactions and turning the site into a revenue-generating asset. The introduction of a user review system provides social proof, a critical component for building trust. Behind the scenes, the admin dashboard empowers the client with the tools to manage products and view orders independently. A critical warning here is the need for strict adherence to financial regulations like PCI DSS, which is a shared responsibility, and the client's role in moderating user-generated reviews.
