PrintOnline.et
Online Ordering for Printing Services
PrintOnline.et is an enterprise-grade e-commerce platform built for the Ethiopian printing industry, empowering Pana Promotion to offer seamless online ordering for 15+ printing products. It features a matrix-based pricing engine replacing additive models, Chapa payment gateway integration for ETB transactions, an 8-step order status pipeline with email notifications, and a comprehensive admin CMS — transitioning from manual cash-on-delivery to a fully digital commerce operation.
The Challenge
Why This Exists
Ethiopian printing businesses rely on manual quoting, cash-on-delivery payments, and phone-based order tracking — creating pricing errors, payment delays, and zero visibility for customers into their order status.
The Solution
How We Solved It
A schema-first Next.js 16 application with six DDD bounded contexts (Catalog, Ordering, Customer, Payment, Fulfillment, Admin). Matrix-based pricing stores exact prices per option combination in PostgreSQL. Chapa's hosted checkout provides PCI-compliant payment processing without card data touching the server. Better-auth handles user sessions, and Nodemailer sends automated order notifications via Ethio Telecom SMTP.
