Another hyperbole and marketing jargon (ecommerce systems are one of the easiest and most competitive with too many providers like shopify).
You might not have tried options and frameworks available in market. Literally thousands of one-click install ecommerce systems ready to use is available for bare-metal, cloud, kubernetes, containers or even simple desktop machines. These systems comes with redundancy, high-availability, faster response time, integrated with payment provider, logistic provider of choice but also gives full control including source code (very different from walled gardens of shopify which indeed has access to customer data, payment, order information, inventory information of store owners without providing any source code).
In functionality, templates and flexibility much better than Shopify. May be just change the tinted glass of promoting shopify and you might see thousands of other options in the market.
- Closi 4y agoWhat you are describing isn't rolling your own (i.e. writing your own code) - it's installing pre-built software which was OP's point. And Shopify being the most common platform now, and quickest and easiest to get up and running, is probably why they used that as an example (i.e. you could have a decent looking matcha-tea store setup within an hour with all the payment methods you want).
- tebbers 4y agoHaha so we’re comparing paying $29 a month for Shopify to setting up your own high availability Kubernetes cluster now. Brilliant. This is why I love HN, never change.
