PROJECTD2C Fashion Store with Try-Before-You-Buy Programme
RATIONALETry-before-you-buy reduces D2C fashion return anxiety and lifts conversion 3–4×. The key technical challenge is Razorpay payment authorisation (hold on card at order, capture only for kept items after 7 days) plus a reverse logistics workflow. Next.js API Routes avoid a separate backend for this scale. Neon serverless Postgres scales to zero cost between order spikes.

⚠ RISK FLAGS
!Razorpay card authorisation (not capture) has a 7-day maximum hold; design the return window to fit within this constraint.
!Reverse logistics quality from Shiprocket varies by PIN code — build a fallback to manual pickup booking in the admin panel.
!Inventory management across try boxes in transit is complex; treat each Try Box as an order with item-level state from day one.
