APIs and ecommerce integrations
Ecommerce Webstores
Connect storefront features with REST APIs, third-party services, and backend data workflows.
What this bullet means
The storefront has to exchange useful data with other systems. The important proof is knowing what goes in, what comes back, and how failures are handled.
Sample app idea
Custom Shopify app using JavaScript or TypeScript, React where useful, Shopify APIs, webhooks, and a secure server-side integration layer.
Main build outline
- Build a small Shopify app with JavaScript or TypeScript that receives product, order, or inventory webhook events.
- Use Shopify APIs and a server-side integration layer to log response status, retries, and review-needed records.
- Document the Shopify API data flow and keep application credentials outside the repository.
Portfolio proof
- Integration log screenshot showing successful, failed, retried, and review-needed records.
- README table explaining each fictional ecommerce data flow and error-handling rule.
Minimal documentation
- README with the business problem, screenshots, setup notes, and technology stack.
- One requirements note that maps the job bullet to the sample feature.
- One test plan note with happy path, validation, and edge case checks.
- One honest portfolio note that says this is self-directed practice, not employer work.
Modern .NET stack
- Blazor Server or ASP.NET Core Razor Pages.
- C# services with validation and dependency injection.
- SQL Server locally, then SmarterASP SQL Server or Azure SQL.
- Optional Azure App Service, GitHub Actions, Docker, and AI helper feature.
