The problem

A used-textbook shop had outgrown its no-code builder: a big catalogue shoppers couldn't search properly, staff couldn't manage, and every order handled by hand.

How I fixed it

I rebuilt it as a store they own, on Next.js and Payload CMS with a real database: proper search, a custom staff dashboard, and order handling that runs itself end to end.

What I built

  • Full-text search that ignores Serbian diacritics, with filters that never dead-end
  • Cash-on-delivery checkout hardened against bots and double-submits
  • A custom staff dashboard: orders, inventory, a five-stage delivery flow, and a full audit trail
  • Automatic confirmation and status emails to customers
  • A nightly job that safely archives old orders to cold storage

What it changed

  • Customers find the right textbook instead of giving up
  • Non-technical staff run the whole shop from one dashboard
  • Orders and customer emails handle themselves, with far less manual work
