Tech Stack
Description
Nexus Global Shop is a full-stack multi-vendor e-commerce platform built with React (Vite) on the frontend and Express.js with MySQL on the backend. The platform supports three distinct roles — Admin, Merchant, and User — each with a dedicated interface and access control.
The project is split into four independent services: the main Frontend, the Backend API, a real-time Chat Server (Socket.io), and a dedicated Image Upload Server. This separation was intentionally designed for straightforward cPanel hosting.
- Built a multi-role platform with separate dashboards for Admin, Merchant, and Customer, including a Sub-Admin system with granular permission control.
- Implemented real-time Support Chat using Socket.io with typing indicators, read receipts, online presence, and an auto-reply bot for guest users.
- Developed authentication with Email/Password and Google OAuth, secured with JWT, alongside a Digital Wallet, Mobile Banking top-up, and Gift Card system.
- Created a dedicated Image Upload Server in pure Node.js that organizes uploaded images by scope and serves them as static files.
- Designed a product catalog system with Categories, Sub-Categories, Offers, and Reviews with full CRUD operations.
