Build me a simple MERN e commerce store that feels polished and works end to end.

I want a customer facing shop where people can browse products, open a product page, add items to a cart, and go through a basic checkout flow. Include a clean home page, product listing, product details, cart, and a simple admin side if that fits naturally. Make it look modern and responsive on mobile and desktop.

Use the frontend and backend folders already in the project, and wire them together so the app actually runs. Set up the data models, API routes, and any needed environment config. If anything is unclear, look up current docs online if you need to.

Keep the code organized and make it easy to start locally with clear run steps. If you can, include a few sample products so the store looks good right away.
