React Online Store Development

I’m ready to move forward with a brand-new online store built with React, and I want it production-ready from day one. The core feature I must have is a seamless shopping cart with secure online payments; product catalog search or customer accounts can follow later, but checkout has to be flawless now. Here’s the scope as I see it: the site should be fully responsive, fast, and visually engaging, written in clean, well-organized HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript (React hooks preferred). On the back end, I’m flexible between MySQL or MongoDB—whichever you feel best suits an e-commerce flow—so long as database connections are solid and easy to maintain. Deliverables • Responsive React storefront, mobile-first • Integrated shopping cart and payment gateway (Stripe or PayPal—open to your suggestion) • Connection to chosen database with secure CRUD operations • Polished UI/UX with cross-browser testing • Documented, neatly structured code base pushed to a Git repo When you reply, please link to a few live projects that highlight similar work, outline the tech stack you’d use, and give me an estimated timeline with milestones. I’m looking for straightforward pricing as well, broken down by phase if possible. Excited to see how you can bring this store to life! Budget: INR 1250–2500
