PROJECTTiruppur T-Shirt Export D2C Store for European Market
RATIONALENext.js on Vercel gives you the fastest path to a production-ready store with SSR for SEO — critical for European organic discovery. Supabase handles auth, storage, and DB in one managed service, eliminating backend overhead for a solo/no-team founder. Stripe is the only realistic choice for EUR payments with strong European SCA compliance built in.

⚠ RISK FLAGS
!GDPR compliance is non-negotiable for selling to EU customers — fines start at €10M; requires cookie consent, data processing agreements, and right-to-erasure logic built in from day one
!Stripe requires business registration and KYC — as a Tiruppur manufacturer you must have a legal entity (LLP/Pvt Ltd with export license) before going live; this can delay launch by 4-8 weeks
!EU import duties and VAT (IOSS scheme) are complex — selling above €150 per order triggers customs declarations; you need a tax advisor or use a 3PL with built-in EU VAT handling
!Seed budget is tight for this scope — if hiring a freelancer or small agency, insist on a fixed-price contract and cut AI features first if budget pressure arises
!No team status means you are fully dependent on a single developer or agency; scope creep without a technical co-founder will blow the budget quickly — freeze scope before development starts
!Shipping economics from India to Europe are brutal for low-AOV t-shirt orders — factor in DHL/FedEx costs (₹800–₹1500/unit) into your pricing before building the store or unit economics will fail
