Built with AI – adapted with AI

I am not a programmer. I built this shop for my own business with Claude (an AI assistant) over a few days, and it has been running my shop since. You adapt it the same way: give the project to your AI assistant and let it read CLAUDE.md – a map of the code written for exactly that.

Provided as is, without support. I don't answer coding questions. Get a Claude subscription (or another AI assistant) and work out the details yourself. If you improve it, publish your own version – the MIT licence allows it. General questions about my shop and how I built it are welcome: contact.

Good to know before you start

Set up like the original

The demo is configured like my shop: an exporter in India shipping with India Post, prices in euros. Shipping prices, the US duty rule and the customs forms are examples to replace with your own.

Not included

VAT / sales-tax calculation, Stripe or other payment providers, product variants, coupons, newsletters. Your AI assistant can add them – see the FAQ.

Your legal texts

The terms and privacy policy in the demo are templates. Write your own for your country.

Getting started

  1. Download the project and read the README.
  2. With your AI assistant: put in your shop's details, products, texts and shipping prices.
  3. Upload it to your hosting, fill in private/config.php (email and PayPal sandbox keys).
  4. Test with PayPal sandbox, then switch to your live PayPal keys.
