Sower & Light

Context

Online store for the US market: biblical and Catholic art prints, storefront in English, prices in US dollars, admin in French. It was created from a copy of ecom-platform.

Problem

Sell customizable print-on-demand art in the US: each product combines size, finish and frame with its own price, and a personalized order must produce an exact print file, with no inventory.

Solution

A dedicated storefront with a filterable collection, product pages with options, personalization with live preview, a persistent cart and quantity discounts. Checkout runs on Stripe Checkout with server-side pricing, and orders are sent to Prodigi with their PDF files.

My role

Product design, visual identity and collection, full-stack development, Stripe and Prodigi integrations, admin studio and launch.

Architecture

• TanStack Start and React for the English storefront
• Convex for the catalog, orders and production jobs
• Stripe Checkout with signed webhooks
• Prodigi API for quotes, printing and tracking
• Cloudflare R2 and pdf-lib for visuals and print files

Challenges addressed

• Handling a price for every size × finish × frame combination
• Generating reliable personalized print files
• Adapting the e-commerce engine to US dollars, English and the US market
• Keeping every price calculated on the server

Verifiable results

• Store live at sowerlight.com
• 140 prints in three painting styles
• Personalization with preview and frame options
• Stripe payments and Prodigi production connected to orders

Next steps

Sower & Light’s needs — product options, print on demand, the US market — became the requirements for making ecom-platform truly generic.
