Naughty Bean Coffee Store

Our own coffee brand's online store, built to retire Shopify.

Naughty Bean Coffee is our own coffee brand, and its store used to run on Shopify. This build replaced it: one Django application serving the marketing site and the shop, with every page, menu, theme colour, product, coupon and shipping rule editable from the admin.

Checkout takes Yoco, PayFast or Stitch, with a simulated gateway when keys are absent so a staging environment works end to end. Live courier rates, waybill bookings and tracking come from The Courier Guy’s API. Order and shipping notifications go out by e-mail and WhatsApp.

It is the reference build for what we mean by an e-commerce site: fast, owned outright, no per-transaction platform fee, and boring to run.
