Finca Bogamino - Custom Online Shop
for e-books.
This project shows how a custom-built system can replace expensive platforms while improving performance and control.
A lightweight e-book store with automated delivery, secure payments, and reliable email infrastructure.
Built without relying on heavy e-commerce platforms to reduce cost, complexity and platform lock-in.
The Challenge & Requirements
Selling digital products online often means relying on heavy platforms with high fees, limited flexibility, and unnecessary complexity.
Features the system had to provide
Reliable global payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Bank transfer, PayPal, etc.)
Secure, controlled product delivery
E-Mail deliverability
Simple content management
→ The goal was to build a simpler system with full control over payments, delivery, and infrastructure - while keeping costs low.
· Storage ·
Secure, controlled product delivery
E-books are stored in private object storage to prevent direct public access.
After purchase, customers receive a link to a download page that verifies the transaction before generating a secure, time-limited access link.
This page validates the transaction status before generating a secure, time-limited, user-specific access URL for the product.
→ This keeps files secure while ensuring a smooth and reliable delivery experience.
· Payments ·
Reliable global payments
Supporting Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, bank transfer and many others. While a merchant of record handles taxes, compliance and global payment processing automatically.
Using a merchant of record simplifies tax handling and compliance while ensuring reliable global payments.
After checkout, the system verifies transactions server-side before triggering automated delivery and e-mail workflows, ensuring that only valid purchases receive access to the product.

E-Mail Deliverability
Reliable email delivery is critical, as it directly affects whether customers receive their purchased products.
By setting up proper domain authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), the system reduces the risk of e-mails being flagged as spam.
