OpenThrottle Powder in detail

How we did it

We built the shop without WordPress or WooCommerce. The product pages are static, made in advance and served from a global network. Sign-in, account approval and checkout run as small functions that talk to Supabase, a hosted database with its own sign-in, and to Stripe for payment. Every price is re-checked on the server at checkout, so a price shown in the browser can never be altered on the way to payment. The coverage calculator on each product page answers the question a coater asks before ordering, how much a quantity will cover, and works from the product's own data. Products and pages are edited in Decap CMS.

It is also the pattern we would move a WooCommerce shop onto: customers and prices carried across, every price checked on the server, and the shop's logic in code the client owns rather than plugins the client rents.
