🛍️ Domain Logic: The Shopping Cart

1. Cart Management

• Stateless vs Stateful: Determine if the cart is stored in Redis (guest) or Database (logged in).
• Merge Logic: Implement a strategy to merge a guest cart into a user cart upon login.
• Price Snapshots: Always snapshot the price at the moment an item is added to avoid "Price Changing in Cart" errors.

2. Checkout State Machine

Cart Item Interface

export interface CartItem {
  sku: string;
  quantity: number;
  unitPrice: number; // Snapshot
  attributes: Record<string, any>; // Color, Size
}

Checkout Guard

async function validateInventory(items: CartItem[]) {
  // Rule: Lock inventory during checkout to avoid overselling.
}

🚀 Workflow (SOP)

1. Architecture Choice: Decide whether to use

   mvc-master

   or

   adr-scaffold

   .
2. Domain Mapping: Define

   SKU

   ,

   Inventory

   , and

   Order

   models.
3. Cart Strategy: Implement the Cart service (Redis/DB).
4. Service Integration: Use

   commerce-blueprint

   to define the complex transition logic between "Cart" and "Order".
5. Security: Implement Idempotency Keys for payment processing.

🛡️ Best Practices

• Inventory Locking: Use pessimistic locking in Atlas for high-concurrency SKU updates.
• Tax & Shipping: Encapsulate calculation logic in

  Domain Services

  to keep Models clean.
• Audit Logs: Every status change in an Order MUST be logged.
