# System Overview

This section provides a high-level overview of the platform architecture. It explains how APIs and the checkout system work together to deliver context-aware content and commerce experiences — tailored for streaming platforms.

## Context & Purpose

Our solution is designed for integration into streaming platforms, enhancing movies, shows, and live broadcasts with:

- **Complementary content** (e.g., cast info, trivia, behind-the-scenes)
- **Shoppable products** related to what’s on screen
- **Contextual logic**, e.g. scene-specific display of information


The system allows apps to enrich their user experience while maintaining seamless playback and native performance.

## Architecture Overview

We follow a modular, layered architecture consisting of:

### 1. APIs

- **Playout API**
Delivers curated content feeds related to the current stream, series, or episode.
Supports timecode-based content variations — e.g., different highlights at different moments.
- **Basket API**
Manages session-based product selections and checkout preparation.
Supports persistent baskets across multiple formats, episodes, anonymous sessions, and item availability checks.
- **Product API**
Allows retailers to add and update their product offerings inside the platform.


### 2. Checkout System

- **Stripe Integration**
Payments are handled via a secure, mobile-first Stripe setup.
Tokenization, redirects, and webhook handling are abstracted.
- **Session Tracking**
The basket and user state are managed centrally and tied to a session token.
Ensures consistency across devices and throughout the user journey.
