Hi I come from Rails and I’m building a kind of Shoppify clone with some custom things for my country, I’m convinced that Phoenix/Elixir was the right choice, It has every thing to create a E-Commerce site. I even had to create a electronic invoice using a P12 Certificate and I was able to do using erlang libraries (from elixir), Phoenix is amazing and with liveview complex interfaces was easy to do. An E-Commerce platform is a big thing you have orders, customers, inventories, shipping, etc. there are many things, but I feel that Phoenix/Liveview help a lot.
if it can help this is my current mix.ex
defp deps do
[
{:phoenix, "~> 1.5.8"},
{:phoenix_ecto, "~> 4.2.1"},
{:ecto_sql, "~> 3.5.4"},
{:postgrex, ">= 0.15.8"},

{:mimic, "~> 1.4", only: :test},
{:excoveralls, "~> 0.14", only: :test},

]
end
One of my favorite lib is liquex Liquex — liquex v0.15.1 you can use liquid lang for your templates.
Regards!
