Challenges 😨

Integrating Razorpay properly for both user checkout and admin panel payments

Research Plan

BlushBasket can be enhanced further with key features like inventory management, order tracking, and coupon management, allowing smooth backend operations and promotional flexibility. Additionally, enabling users to submit ratings and feedback—with built-in moderation tools—will help build trust and improve product quality. To support business insights, integrating basic admin analytics will provide valuable data on sales trends, top-performing products, and user growth, empowering smarter decision-making.
