Comment on Ask HN: What is the best tech stack or platform for an ecommerce site?

Comments

I see you reject Shopify because of fees.

But if you take into account the engineers' salaries you'll have to pay, servers, having to be on call every time the site crashes, cost of not having a super optimized checkout, etc.

You'll realize that Shopify is an excellent candidate.

Let Shopify take care of the commerce part and focus on what really moves the needle: your product and marketing.

Most of our traffic comes from direct sales pages, which shopify does not do very well. The membership functionality would be 3K a month at the enterprise level just to meet the needs of shopify integrating with our CRM properly. We've used shopify and are familiar with what it can and can't do well.
