@ekaitz_zarraga @mhoye Happy to talk about that. Most of the user facing site is static content regenerated as needed by Jekyll. Shopping cart, checkout, and the order fulfillment stuff for staff is done with tiny C++ programs (written more like C but bringing in some of the safer standard library stuff to hopefully avoid most of the footguns, PHP would honestly be a better choice here, I just hadn't used that in ages) sharing some common utility code. PostgreSQL, Stripe, and Shippo also used.
@ekaitz_zarraga @mhoye Before working on this, I had a conversation with another shop owner in the same industry at a trade event and he was very excited about his new ecommerce site, but then revealed that he'd gotten 0 orders through it (he still had old fashioned mail order customers), so my priorities were: 1. Doesn't cost if there aren't sales. 2. Can be built quickly with tech I already know and am comfortable with. 3. Easily integrates with my existing site.
