User feedback emphasizes intuitive navigation and real-time update. These results show the practical effectiveness of the MERN stack for user-centric e-commerce solutions. Future work willinclude rigorous scalability testing, Progressive Web App (PWA)integration, deployment of high-endsecurity features, and AI-driven personalization integration
