  • Developed backend modules for bulk inventory updates via CSV/XML feed from greenhouse partners.
  • Created product labeling system for plant care, USDA zones, and delivery instructions.
  • Implemented custom cron jobs to sync stock availability with real-time updates.
  • Enhanced checkout logic to handle special handling fees for live plants and oversized items.
