## What it is
ProShop is a full-stack eCommerce web application built with the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) and Redux, featuring a shopping cart, checkout with PayPal payments, product reviews, and admin management. It is a deprecated tutorial project superseded by proshop-v2.

## Use cases
- build an ecommerce site with mern stack
- learn redux shopping cart implementation
- example of paypal checkout integration in node
- mern stack admin dashboard for products and orders
- starter code for a full-stack react express mongodb app
- learn how to structure a mern project

## When to choose
- learning MERN stack development through a complete example
- studying a full eCommerce flow including cart, checkout, and admin pages
- following the original Traversy Media course

## When to avoid
- starting a new production eCommerce project (use proshop-v2 instead)
- needing maintained, supported code
- requiring a license-compliant production deployment (repo lacks a license file)
- needing modern Redux Toolkit patterns

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: auth, web-framework, state-management, database, http-server, ui-components
- domain: e-commerce, web-development, education
- platform: cross-platform
