ByteHub
Client: FR Communication, Sirajganj
ISP-equipment storefront for FR Communication. Custom storefront, dual-bank Bank Transfer with proof upload, COD, Postal email.
Definition
What is the ByteHub case study?
ByteHub (bytehub.bd) is a LoneSock-delivered ISP-equipment e-commerce storefront for FR Communication, Sirajganj. It covers product catalogue, cart, checkout with Cash on Delivery and a dual-bank Bank Transfer flow (United Commercial Bank and The City Bank, with proof upload and admin verification), and transactional email through Postal.
The Challenge
What we were solving for.
FR Communication needed a working storefront for ISP technology equipment (cables, routers, ONUs, fibre gear), live in 48 hours. The deadline was real and treated as a hard override on other work in flight.
Payments had to fit the operator. No card-acquiring relationship and no demand for a payment gateway. The required checkout was Cash on Delivery plus Bank Transfer into either of two operator accounts, with customer proof upload and admin verification.
Email had to ship inside the 48-hour window. The platform had to plug into an email transport already in operation rather than wait on a separate integration project.
What We Built
Technical architecture.
An ISP-equipment storefront covering catalogue, search, cart, checkout, order management, and customer account flows, sized for the operator's actual product mix.
A two-bank Bank Transfer checkout (United Commercial Bank and The City Bank, both Sirajganj branch, both in FR Communication's name) with customer proof upload at checkout and an admin verification queue, complementing Cash on Delivery as the second checkout option.
Transactional email through Postal (postal.lonesock.pro), wired in for order confirmations and admin notifications without requiring a separate platform setup.
A deployment posture (Docker, Traefik) that hit the 48-hour launch deadline without compromising on the operator's ability to handle real orders from day one.

Outcome
What the engagement delivered.
The storefront went live inside the 48-hour deadline and operates on real customer traffic.

Cash on Delivery covers the remainder of the customer base, matching how ISP-equipment buyers in the region typically transact.
Questions
FAQ for the ByteHub engagement.
What did LoneSock build for ByteHub?
LoneSock delivered the ByteHub storefront for FR Communication, Sirajganj: catalogue, cart, checkout, order management, customer accounts, dual-bank Bank Transfer with proof upload, Cash on Delivery, and transactional email through Postal.
What tech stack was used?
Next.js 16 on the front-end, PostgreSQL 18 for state, Docker and Traefik for deployment, and Postal as the email transport.
Why no payment gateway?
The operator did not need a gateway. Their actual customer base transacts through Cash on Delivery and Bank Transfer into their existing UCB and City Bank accounts. A gateway integration would have added cost and time the operator did not want to spend.
How was the 48-hour launch deadline met?
By focusing on what the operator actually needed at launch and deferring anything that did not gate live orders. Payments routed through the operator's existing banks. Email rode an existing Postal deployment. Everything else was scoped to fit inside the window.
Is the work still maintained?
Yes. ByteHub is in production with ongoing iteration from LoneSock.
