The React eStore is a fake E-Commerce store with a fully functional shopping cart, user data stored in a database, authentication and password hashing just like a real application. Retrieving data from the Fake Store API, a free online REST API that you can use for e-commerce or shopping websites. The payment system is using a free test account from Stripe. This is my second capstone project for Springboard's Software Engineering career track. Here's a link to the project fully deployed project: React eStore
