Overview

About the project

BookShell is a full-stack e-commerce platform for buying and selling books, with a full shopping experience on the customer side and a complete operations dashboard for admins.

Customers can sign in with Google (via Firebase Auth) or standard email/password, browse and purchase books through an integrated checkout, and track their orders. Admins get full control: adding, editing, and removing book listings, managing orders, viewing sales data, tracking stock levels, and seeing activity logs for other admins on the team.

Book cover images are handled through Cloudinary rather than stored directly, keeping image delivery fast and separate from the app's own storage. Payments are integrated via Paystack, currently running in test mode; the integration is complete and can be switched to live processing without additional development work.
