How to Make a E-commerce App with Flutter

Shopping Cart

class CartItem {
  final String productId, name;
  int quantity;
  double price;

  CartItem({required this.productId, required this.name,
    this.quantity = 1, required this.price});

  double get total => price * quantity;
}

class CartProvider extends ChangeNotifier {
  final List _items = [];

  List get items => UnmodifiableListView(_items);
  int get count => _items.fold(0, (s, i) => s + i.quantity);
  double get total => _items.fold(0.0, (s, i) => s + i.total);

  void add(Product p) {
    final idx = _items.indexWhere((i) => i.productId == p.id);
    if (idx >= 0) {
      _items[idx].quantity++;
    } else {
      _items.add(CartItem(productId: p.id, name: p.name, price: p.price));
    }
    notifyListeners();
  }

  void remove(String productId) {
    _items.removeWhere((i) => i.productId == productId);
    notifyListeners();
  }
}

Checkout Flow

class CheckoutPage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override State createState() => _CheckoutPageState();
}

class _CheckoutPageState extends State {
  int _step = 0;
  final _addressKey = GlobalKey();
  final _paymentKey = GlobalKey();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Stepper(
      currentStep: _step,
      onStepContinue: () {
        if (_step < 2) setState(() => _step++);
      },
      steps: [
        Step(title: const Text('Address'), content: _buildAddressForm()),
        Step(title: const Text('Shipping'), content: _buildShippingOptions()),
        Step(title: const Text('Payment'), content: _buildPaymentForm()),
      ],
    );
  }

  Widget _buildPaymentForm() {
    return Column(
      children: [
        TextField(decoration: const InputDecoration(labelText: 'Card number')),
        Row(children: [
          Expanded(child: TextField(decoration: const InputDecoration(labelText: 'MM/YY'))),
          const SizedBox(width: 16),
          Expanded(child: TextField(decoration: const InputDecoration(labelText: 'CVC'))),
        ]),
        const SizedBox(height: 16),
        ElevatedButton(
          onPressed: () async {
            await Stripe.instance.initPaymentSheet(...);
            await Stripe.instance.presentPaymentSheet();
          },
          child: const Text('Pay Now'),
        ),
      ],
    );
  }
}

UI & UX Suggestions

Use a white bg, blue CTA, orange sale badges, green in-stock colour palette to match the app's purpose. Keep the navigation simple — a bottom nav bar or a single-scroll layout works best for this type of app. Make sure every interaction provides haptic or visual feedback so the app feels responsive and polished.
