I haven't heard of anyone doing commerce yet. This would require additional functionality like having a global cart (which can be acheived via js) and then idk about checking out... maybe need a backend to create a checkout event and then redirect to the checkout.

Right now its possible to fetch data from third parties so you can make a really nice frontend for your store with filters and all. But checkout is another thing we need to tackle

Unless you don't need a cart.. then its just a matter of linking to a thirdparty hosted checkout page

Hi I see that @John Siciliano . I think a possible integration with snipcart can be done.
Or, maybe can we do mutation api with WooCommerce e-commerce?

If the main requirement is an e-commerce experience, an option worth considering would be Shopify Headless. It is robust and scales well

Ecommerce is on our roadmap. Ideally we provide the primitives to use whichever platform you want

Its not that its imposible right now. It sjust that we haven't built a template yet. So one has to do it from scratch and it takes skill to build it yourself.

@Oleg Isonen you think all is in place to test headless with Shopify right now? Or we have to make some tests?

I think so, what's not in place can be worked around, most likely, There can be some limitations but I think its doable

e..g biggest question would be for me is authentication of a signed in shopper

I haven't looked into auth in shopify, so that's something to test

I tend to do the same, but the same statement could also be made with the intention to make a fair offer (just pay for what you need). This is the deepest package brought up so far, and you can use enterprise-level tools completely for free, as long as you self-host. Just have a look at their customer list: https://pimcore.com/en/customers

yeah, though usually it just means they are going to be setting and raising arbitrary prices, like they do in enterprise, but these guys do this for regular pro customers, which makes me think they are full of s.

how old are these guys? it looks like something 20 yo

if open source, I would be looking into medusa

https://medusajs.com/

They are a serious contender, exist for a long time, are built on symphony. ORM gets interesting if you have thousands of products or more. Its founders are rather 50 to 60. We had considered them, but switching would have been difficult with our current stack.

I mean the product looks 20yo, not the guys)

Yeah, the current GUI is terrible. They are rolling out a completely new one (dropped the old framework). That one looks good. https://github.com/orgs/pimcore/discussions/17076
