I built Smoke App, an e-commerce platform specifically for smoke shops, vape retailers, and cigar lounges. Most platforms, including Shopify and food-delivery apps such as DoorDash and Uber Eats, don't support tobacco and vape sales, leaving retailers in this space without a real online ordering option. Smoke App gives retailers a 24/7 storefront with online ordering, delivery scheduling, and loyalty programs. It also handles the compliance and fraud risks that make this category difficult to build for. On the B2B side, distributors and brands can connect directly with verified retailers for bulk ordering and consistent brand assets across locations. Smoke App runs on WordPress, with a custom theme managing the storefront, merchant onboarding, and retailer portal. The backend runs on PHP. The hardest part wasn't building the storefront; it was working around the category's compliance and payment constraints. We built age verification, fraud detection through "Fraud Shield," and chargeback dispute handling into the platform from day one, since standard payment processors generally won't support tobacco and vape merchants.

I added online ordering, delivery scheduling, and loyalty programs to give retailers a 24/7 storefront. 6. I built a B2B side that connects distributors and brands with verified retailers for bulk ordering and consistent brand assets across locations.
