The company blog of Snipcart, an e-commerce cart for websites, covering JavaScript, CSS, headless CMS and static site shops.
HN commenters recommend Snipcart as an easy option for adding a shop to a static site, with only the server logic hosted in the cloud.
Agree with the other posts here. Don’t write your own store.
Shopify/Squarespace/Sellfy etc. are much cheaper and lower risk, at least to start with. From experience PCI compliance and tax rules are pains you do not want to deal with.
I’d only ever recommend custom coding if you have some extremely specific requirements. Even WooCommerce on Wordpress would be a better starting point.
If you want to tinker, you could build a store using a static site generator like Jekyll combined with a Google Docs spreadsheet to manage the inventory and something like Snipcart [0] for e-commerce functionality (I’m working on a site that does this).

Hi, I'm a Redux maintainer. FWIW, we're looking at revamping the Redux docs in the near future (see https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/issues/2590 for plans ).
If you've got any specific suggestions for improvements, please let us know! I'm always looking for ways we can make the docs better.
As a side note, React is separate from Redux, and Redux is definitely not tied to React. Here's a recent post about a team that opted to use Redux with Vue: https://snipcart.com/blog/redux-vue .
Hi there! At Snipcart we are currently doing exactly that. We are progressively migrating our Saas from Backbone to Vue.js, and just wrote a blog post that can answer all of your questions: https://snipcart.com/blog/progressive-migration-backbone-vuejs-refactoring
For us, it has been a really positive experience so far and we LOVE working with Vue.js. The transition between the two frameworks has been really smooth so far, and I'm sure it can benefit your project too ;)
I currently run a static website with a shop using Shopify's JavaScript SDK. All the benefits of Shopify's excellent backend and admin interface while still using a performant website that can be designed however I please.
Another option is Snipcart, which explicitely works as a drop-in shop for any website[2].

Not sure if it's the best but I'm currently digging into a middleman tutorial, that I'm almost positive that I read from hacker news at one point about building an ecommerce sites.
