## Tech Stack

### Recommended Stack

*   https://github.com/payloadcms/payload -> use this for your cms
    
*   https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/templates/ecommerce
    
*   **Frontend:** Next.js + Tailwind CSS
    
*   **Backend:** Next.js API routes / server actions
    
*   **Database:** PostgreSQL
    
*   **ORM:** Prisma
    
*   **Images:** Cloudinary or S3-compatible storage
    
*   **Payments:** Razorpay — UPI, cards, net banking, COD logic
    
*   **Shipping:** Shiprocket API
    
*   **Auth:** NextAuth/Auth.js or simple OTP login
    
*   **Hosting:** Vercel
    
*   **Analytics:** Google Analytics + Search Console
    
*   **WhatsApp:** WhatsApp Business link initially; API automation later
    

### Keep Costs Low

Use mostly free tiers initially:

**Vercel + PostgreSQL free tier + Cloudinary free tier + Razorpay/Shiprocket pay-per-use.**

### Development Approach

Build it as a **single Next.js application** with PostgreSQL. Keep the code modular so you can later extract services if U-Liva grows.
