Pain Points (Public)

Creators and digital merchants struggle to sell downloadable assets like templates and software licenses through generic e-commerce platforms, which lack automated instant fulfillment mechanisms such as expiring signed download links, order-based key distribution, and authenticated member dashboards with OTP verification.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Develop a specialized digital e-commerce web application featuring automated checkout fulfillment via Stripe webhooks, generating short-lived AWS S3 presigned URLs and dynamic license keys, alongside a gated customer portal equipped with SMS OTP authentication for viewing purchase history and re-downloading files.
