Database:

Create clean APIs between frontend and backend.

Keep the architecture modular and scalable so that additional categories, sellers, products, customers, and orders can be added later.

## IMPORTANT

Do not create only a visual mockup.

Build the website as a functional e-commerce application with:

* Product management
* Inventory management
* Commission management
* Return/refund system

Use realistic sample products and product images for the initial demonstration.

Make the application scalable so it can eventually support a large number of customers, sellers, products, and orders.

Start by creating the complete project structure and database architecture first, then build the application module by module.
