A fashion store with admin and VietQR checkout, built by one person in 60 hours.
DStore needed a storefront, an inventory admin and lookbook content on a startup budget. I designed it, wrote the spec and directed an AI-assisted build from brief to handoff.

Sound familiar?
A founder with products to sell, a small budget and no team. Here's what DStore came in with.
- 01A startup budget for a full storeStorefront and admin had to fit a tight budget, so I cut everything that wasn't needed to sell.
- 02Lookbooks, but no money for photoshootsI set up an AI workflow so the client can make lookbook images in-house.
- 03Shoppers who pay the local wayCheckout runs on PayOS and VietQR, ready for the Vietnamese market from day one.
One product photo in. A lookbook out.
Built on a Figma Weave AI workflow, so the client makes new lookbook content without booking a shoot.
Spec first. Then build, test, rebuild.
The same six steps I run on every build.
- 01DocsI write down the flows, screens and business rules before anything gets built. This document is the spec the agents build against.
- 02Build pipelineI set up the AI agent pipeline that turns the spec into a working build.
- 03Agent rulesI write the rules the agents follow, so their output matches the spec, the design and the business logic.
- 04TestI test every screen and flow against the rules in the spec.
- 05Rebuild & testWhat fails goes back into the pipeline, gets rebuilt and is tested again until it passes.
- 06AcceptanceI hand over the build for your acceptance review and sign-off.
Step 5 loops until it passes.
A custom build, not a platform.
A hosted platform like Shopify or Haravan, or a custom build.
Code can't fix compliance. So I check it before the first screen.
On DStore I checked the tech constraints and not the legal ones. The store is live, but the catalog is still waiting on the client's licensing. Now these questions come first on every e-commerce build.
- Is the business registered for e-commerce with the Ministry of Industry and Trade?
- Can the product sourcing pass an IP check?
- Can checkout legally take payments on launch day?
A build like DStore, priced up front.
Sign-in, checkout and an admin panel map to a Full-scale MVP. Adjust the extras and see the starting price change.
A build like this: Full-scale MVP, from $5,500
