Spotchops is a live AI-operated dropshipping storefront that automates the entire ecommerce cycle—sourcing, listing, pricing, marketing, fulfillment, and support—with the owner approving only high-risk financial, legal, and safety decisions. The storefront is published and live with real Stripe integration and a working product catalog; it can accept and process real orders today. No inventory holding required; all supplier connections are legitimate APIs with no scraping or unauthorized content copying.

What we're building

An AI-operated dropshipping business: an owned ecommerce storefront that sources, lists, prices, markets, fulfills and supports products — running automatically, with the owner approving only high-risk financial, legal, and safety decisions. No holding inventory; legitimate supplier integrations/APIs only; no scraping or copying third-party content without permission.

Current focus — the MVP (all four foundation milestones built and live)

Storefront — fast, mobile-first store: Home, Shop, product pages, cart, checkout, policies, order tracking, owner dashboard. Live.
Real catalog + payments — 60 products (20 per category: Home & Kitchen, Travel, Fitness) with high-res photos and 1-to-1 verified Stripe hosted-checkout Buy links. Stripe connected; real orders possible; no money has moved yet.
Supplier layer — clean supplier-adapter architecture (import, inventory, pricing, orders, tracking, returns) with a working Demo Supplier and real-supplier connection points (Printful/CJ/AliExpress), plus a 0–100 product-scoring function. Live.

Team management, task planning, delegation, and monitoring

engineer

Full-stack web engineer. Builds React/TanStack Start apps (React + Vite + Tailwind), backend/server functions, REST APIs, database schema + queries (Neon/Postgres), ecommerce storefronts (product pages, cart, checkout), auth, and dashboards. Works in the team site at /home/team/shared/site, publishes with `bun run publish`. Knows to never store raw card data and to place payment/supplier integrations behind interfaces rather than faking live integrations.

The storefront is live and ready to take real orders via Stripe-hosted checkout. To customize and operate: Clone the site repository. Connect your own Stripe account via the owner dashboard. The supplier-adapter architecture provides clean interfaces for real supplier integrations (demo supplier included for testing). Set approval thresholds in the automation workflows for pricing, ads, fulfillment, support, and compliance decisions. No MCPs or external tools required to run—just Stripe credentials and supplier API keys.
