This question is in regards to building ecommerce platforms with phoenix and ecommerce software.
I am aware of some pretty cool projects in ash, however there doesn’t seem to be a complete suite, so what I’m considering is a WooCommerce app with some functionality coming from the Wordpress + WooCommerce server that I interact with via an API through the phoenix server.
Are there any robust phoenix solutions that take this approach? If not, I would appreciate some guidance/direction in this task.
Thanks a lot.

I’m not quite sure what your goal is here. Are you looking to show Woocommerce products in a non-Wordpress environment? If so, how come? If not, is Wordpress + Woocommerce missing functionality that you’re looking for?

The woocommerce and wordpress servers are more so for handling the ecommerce facets i.e. dashboard, PCI, order fulfilment, taxes, stock keeping, content management etc.
The phoenix server would be handling all other functionality of the platform.

I see 3 options here:
Where it gets a bit more interesting is with users, carts, and checkout. Blaze Commerce is a Typescript-based project that could be good to look through, note that they opted to keep the checkout experience on the Wodpress side.

Thank for the response, I have another question, pertaining to your answers.
If I am wrong to ask, I hope no offence is taken; also I am not asking because I would necessarily mind either way.
Are your answers AI generated at all?
absowoot
Not at all, I just typed them out. Some background – I am (was) a Wordpress developer for the last 10 years and have been researching this and similar topics over the last few years as I switch focus on Elixir.

Ah that’s very interesting.
Thanks for your answers I’ll take a look at the recommended routes.

I wonder if there is a stand-alone service/API for handling tax concerns.

Taxjar but I think they got bought?
Should still exist though. Interestingly I believe they were/are Elixir
