Challenges

Like most growing e-commerce platforms, this project came with a few real-world challenges:

  • Inconsistent Experience Across Devices Users were getting different experiences on web and mobile in terms of performance and UI behavior.
  • Lack of Proper Documentation Requirements were not clearly defined, which made it difficult to fully understand features and expected outcomes.
  • Data Handling Issues There were concerns around accuracy of product details, pricing, and availability across different modules.
  • Mobile Compatibility Problems UI alignment, responsiveness, and functionality varied across devices and screen sizes.
  • Challenges with Third-Party Service Integration The platform depended on external services, including payment gateways and inventory management systems, which occasionally resulted in discrepancies and delays in
    transactions or data synchronization.
  • Performance and Load Management As the platform expanded, ensuring consistent performance during peak traffic times proved difficult, resulting in slower page loading times and intermittent timeouts during
    essential user activities such as the checkout process.
