This is a concept build, not a client engagement. We built Camber Coffee to show how TechSpireX approaches an ecommerce storefront — the catalog, the cart, and the checkout flow that actually converts. It is a working store: browse, filter, add to cart, adjust quantities, and check out. No real payment is taken and nothing ships. Open the live storefront and run a full order through it.
What it does
- A filterable catalog — search by name, origin, or tasting note; filter by roast; sort by price, rating, or popularity — all instant, no page reloads.
- A real cart — add products at different weights, change quantities, remove lines, with a live item count in the header.
- Correct order math — subtotal, a free-shipping threshold with a "spend $X more" nudge, estimated tax, and a running total that updates as the cart changes.
- A full checkout flow — cart → shipping details → order summary → place order → confirmation, in a slide-over drawer.
The part that actually matters in ecommerce: the checkout
Storefronts don't lose money on the catalog page — they lose it at the cart and checkout. Camber is built around the details that move conversion: quantities are adjustable in one tap, the free-shipping threshold is surfaced with a concrete number ("add $8 more"), totals never hide fees until the last step, and the whole cart-to-confirmation flow happens in a drawer without yanking the shopper away from the store.
The checkout is honest about being a demo — the "Pay" step confirms the order without processing a payment — but the flow, the state handling, and the totals are the real thing. Wiring it to Stripe (or Shopify's checkout) is a contained, well-understood step from here.
Engineering notes
- No external assets — product visuals are rendered as styled SVG/gradient bags, so the store is fully self-contained and safe under a strict Content Security Policy. In a production build these become real product photography.
- Accessible, keyboard-operable — labelled controls, an escapable drawer, focus states throughout, and background-scroll locking while the cart is open.
- A light, warm retail identity — deliberately distinct from our two dashboard concept builds, Meridian and Relay; a storefront should feel like a shop, not a console.
The stack
Next.js (App Router), React with strict TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. Cart and checkout are a single client island; the surrounding site stays static and fast — the pattern real storefronts want, where the catalog is cacheable and only the cart is dynamic.
The honest caveat
Camber Coffee is not a real store — no payment is processed, no order is fulfilled. It is a demonstration of how we design and build a converting storefront, not a claim of a delivered client result. Real, attributable case studies will be clearly marked as such when we publish them.
