01 — Summary
A mobile-first storefront for limited streetwear drops, with two-tap WhatsApp ordering, UPI guidance and a private console for stock, orders and media.
02 — The challenge
Ztees was selling through Instagram messages and UPI screenshots. Stock across sizes S to 3XL drifted out of sync, addresses were lost in chat history, and shoppers had little reassurance about authenticity or shipping.
Mainstream e-commerce platforms were a poor fit: monthly fees, transaction cuts and heavy templates did not suit drop-based sales in India.
03 — Our approach
Two coordinated surfaces. Shoppers get an editorial, fast mobile storefront with instant filtering, fabric details (240 GSM) and fit guides. Checkout turns the cart into a structured WhatsApp order with UPI guidance in two taps.
The owner gets a private console, protected by Supabase Auth and row-level security, for stock toggles, order tracking, multi-angle photo uploads and review moderation.
Built for: Streetwear shoppers browsing drops on their phones, and a founder managing fast catalogue changes, orders and photoshoots.
