What the project does
Sanchvi is an online-store application rather than a simple product catalogue. The codebase connects the customer-facing shopping journey with product data, cart state, shipping information, order records and payment flows.

04 · BACKEND
What role does the backend play?
The backend/application layer is responsible for connecting the interface to the project's data, business logic and user workflows.
- Models hold products, prices, colours, images, carts, orders, order items and shipping data.
- Authentication is handled through a custom user model and account views.
- Payment views connect the checkout state with PhonePe/PayPal flows.
- Admin views provide product/category and operational management.
- The backend turns the storefront into a data-driven application rather than a static catalogue.
05 · USAGE
How is it used?
A customer can register, browse the catalogue, choose product variations, add items to a cart, enter delivery information, select a payment method, and then review order status/history.
Project maturity: Substantial. The purpose of this page is to explain the implementation that exists in the repository, while keeping production-readiness claims separate.
06 · LIMITATIONS
Current boundaries
The repository is a substantial project, but production hardening would still require secret management, stronger deployment configuration, production database/storage, testing and payment/security review.
