the story so far

01 / I noticed

Social merchants need a simple path from attention to products, orders, and payment - without assembling many disconnected tools.

02 / I wondered

Could one link become a complete, mobile-first storefront?

03 / I tried

Built a multi-tenant Next.js platform with Clerk authentication, merchant inventory and order tools, visit/conversion analytics, adaptive UI, and Paystack Split Payments for settlement and platform commission.

04 / I learned

Commerce is not only checkout. It is trust, clarity, inventory, orders, and helping a merchant feel in control of a business that is growing in public.
