Gifting commerce needs three very different faces — buyers, sellers, and operations — that most single-app builds mash together and do badly.

• Four coordinated apps on one API: customer storefront, seller hub, admin dashboard, and the Node/Express backend.
• Seller onboarding and product management flows, so vendors run their own catalog end-to-end.
• Admin controls for orders, refunds and catalog moderation.
• Payment gateway integration and inventory tracking across vendors.
• Iterated through multiple production releases with a real client on the other end.

• Three independent Vite + React frontends (storefront, seller, admin) sharing one Express API — each audience gets a purpose-built UI instead of a role-switched compromise.
• Clean MVC backend: models, controllers, middleware and routes kept strictly separated.
• Vendor-scoped data access — sellers see their catalog and orders, nothing else.
