Following the addition of a merchandise section to our platform, there's a need for comprehensive e-commerce functionality to facilitate the sale of merchandise. This includes the implementation of a shopping cart, checkout process, billing system, and an order history page for users. These features will enable seamless transactions directly on our platform, enhancing the shopping experience for fans and streamlining sales management for artists.
Expected Behavior

Checkout Process: A secure and straightforward checkout process, including user information, shipping options, and payment methods.
Billing System: Integration with payment gateways to process transactions securely, supporting major credit/debit cards, PayPal, and other payment methods.
Order History: Users should have access to their order history, including details of purchased items, transaction dates, amounts, and order status.

Security and Compliance: Ensure the e-commerce system adheres to security standards and compliance regulations for online transactions.
Artist and User Interface: Create intuitive interfaces for artists to manage their merchandise sales and for users to make purchases and track orders.
Testing and Deployment: Rigorously test the e-commerce functionality with both artists and fans to ensure a smooth, secure transaction process. Deploy the feature across the platform after successful testing and feedback.
Additional Context
