Fully-featured e-commerce backend API — product listings, cart management, orders, Paystack payments, and SMS notifications. Live on Render with full API documentation.
Needed a production-ready backend for an e-commerce platform that could handle user authentication, product catalog management, cart and order workflows, payment processing, and real-time SMS notifications — all via a clean RESTful API.
Built a Django 5.1 + DRF REST API with JWT authentication via Djoser and SimpleJWT, Paystack payment integration, Twilio SMS order notifications, Redis caching for product listing endpoints, Cloudinary for media storage, and full API documentation. Load tested the API with Locust to validate performance under traffic. Social Auth (OAuth) also supported.
Live at shoplit.onrender.com — a fully documented, deployed API with paginated and cached product endpoints, complete order lifecycle management, and SMS order notifications. API docs available via Postman and a public database schema diagram available for review.
I'm available for new projects — let's talk about what you need.
