Cosmetics & Footwear Store with Admin Back Office
Huria Collections
Huria Collections sells makeup, skincare and shoes to women across Pakistan. Card penetration there is low and trust is earned at the doorstep, so the entire commerce model runs on cash on delivery — which shifts the hard problem from payments to operations. The storefront was the easy half; the half that decides whether the business works is the back office that gets orders out the door.
01 — The brief
The challenge
Selling cosmetics and footwear online in Pakistan means building for cash on delivery, where every order is a commitment of stock and courier cost before a rupee arrives. The team needed a storefront that could merchandise two very different categories with promotions like Buy 2 Get 1 Free, and behind it an operations tool where staff could manage orders by status and date, handle customer enquiries, and pull reports without a developer.
02 — What we built
The solution
We built a React storefront on Vite with separate cosmetics and shoes categories, search and filtering, a sale section, cart and a cash-on-delivery checkout, with WhatsApp as a direct line for customers who prefer to ask before buying. Behind it sits an admin back office — product create, edit and delete, order management with status changes and date filtering, a contact-submission inbox, and reporting that exports to PDF for offline use. A Laravel API backs both.
