swastik96-ops/Mern-E-Commerce-project ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a full ecommerce website where people can sign up, log in, browse products, add items to a cart, place orders, and pay with PayPal.

I want an admin area too, where I can add and edit products, manage categories, see orders, and view a simple dashboard with sales stats. The app should support product image uploads, show toast messages for actions, and work well on mobile and desktop.

Use a modern MERN setup with a React frontend and a Node and Express backend connected to MongoDB. Include secure authentication with JWT, protected pages, and basic user account handling. Please wire up the main pages, routes, models, and API endpoints so the whole store flow feels complete. If you need to check anything current, look up the latest docs online.
