Author platform with books commerce
Writer Website
Nawa Sohail full-stack author site—Next.js 15 storefront/admin, Express/Mongo API, JWT roles, cart/checkout, and PayFast-compatible payment proxying.
Background & Context
Full-stack author platform for Nawa Sohail: Next.js 15 public site + /dashboard/* admin in website/, Express/MongoDB API in backend/. CORS references nawasohail.com, www.nawasohail.com, and writer-server.vercel.app. Stripe appears in backend package.json but payment routes proxy PayFast-style endpoints via axios (PAYFAST_BASE_URL / PAYMENT_BASE_URL). Fallback/static helpers (fallbackData.ts, apiWithFallback) support resilience when API is down.

Author-brand commerce
Books and content sit beside cart/checkout rather than a generic theme store.
Role-gated dashboard
`customer` / `admin` JWT roles protect CMS-like operations.
