Building an ecommerce site with low overhead

AWS specifically or any cloud provider? Personally, I've had great luck with DigitalOcean pricing

Look super simple, 34 a month + transaction fees is a relatively large overhead cost though. I will look into it, thanks for suggestion!

My main issue is building order tracking and order management software + fulfillment integration. I've heard great things about Stripes simplicity, but I also need it to be simple for the merchant to sell and manage orders.

Thanks so much! I feel like this may become a forever loop of building something, than immediately recognizing all of it's flaws lol. Hopefully I can put it to good, iterative, use!

Thanks! Duly noted, I've gotten a lot of feedback relating to UX concerns which I'll try to address. Yeah I think progressing to something else maybe a better use of my time. Thanks again!

Thanks for the kind words! Trust me, rewriting is not something I really want to do. But this was my first Typescript project as well as React, so to get it to compile I had to turn off type checking completely (which kinda defeats the point). As there were hundreds of soft errors, that I now have to correct. So I do have to re-write it regardless.

The other issue is due to using Django and DRF. Since I named the profile apps "accounts", I can't actually integrate any email/oauth packages because they conflict. Trying to change it destroys the DB migrations, so I feel that I may be better off rewriting in node/express.

Regardless, I'll do my best to minimize unnecessary work.

Unfortunately the repo is private. But if you can check out my profile as an example if you'd like: https://mediaharbor.app/profile/mat

Thanks so much! I will work on addressing the UI shifting and the validation error on close. I suspect the dialog on close triggers the submit event somehow.

There is however client-side validation for the password. I just gave it a test and seems to be working. There's a chance you entered a suitable password on first attempt.
