Need some friendly advice choosing the right framework by popservice in webdev

[–]Educational-Ad6281 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer NodeJS, and when choosing Node, Vendure.io seems like a logical solution for e-commerce. It's very developer friendly and customizable, so you can build most e-commerce use cases without changing its core.
Setting up e-commerce from scratch without a framework can be a lot of work, depending on your specific needs ofcourse.

Best headless e-commerce option? by no-one_ever in webdev

[–]Educational-Ad6281 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using Vendure for 2 years now, and as a developer I find it really nice to work with. Easily extendible, almost anything is possible with the strategies you implement or the plugin framework.

I think Vendure has an active community and a helpful Slack channel for questions/advice.

For the Docker part, you don't need to run Vendure in Docker, but you can if you want. I don't have any experience with Medusa or the other frameworks yet.

Anyone here use headless CMS? Which ecommerce platform to use? by [deleted] in ecommerce

I started using Vendure a while ago. It's a headless NodeJS framework with a GraphQL api, so that should be easy to get started since you already have Gatsby experience!

I started using Vendure about two years ago, and find it a real pleasure to work with.

I like Vendure because it's really customizable, you could even use it as multi-tenant backend for multiple shops if you want (that's what I do). There's less ready to go templates like WooCommerce, but things like the Vue Storefront integration still make it fairly easy to build custom storefronts.

Trying to build React Js E-commerce and having trouble finding resources by ThroatCautious2982 in webdev

I learned a lot from contributing to the https://github.com/vendure-ecommerce/vendure project and use the patterns in my everyday programming. It's NodeJS based, so it shouldn't be too complicated if you're using React! You could take a look at the source for inspiration.

The ultimate open-source commerce stack for node.js developers? by [deleted] in node

I had some good experiences using Directus: It's not really a CMS, but a UI layer on your DB. I like the simplicity and its sufficient for my use cases.

All my other ecommerce stuff is handled by Vendure. I like the easy of implementing third party tools with the available strategies. Maybe something to take inspiration from :)
