(help) Blockchain based Ecommerce

Hi, I've been a member of the dev community for a while now and I'm enjoying it like anything the tutorials, discussions and everything. I hope you're all doing well and having a great day so far.

So, I recently learnt the MEAN stack and for a project I am planning to build an ecommerce blockchain based website. I am new to this so I needed suggestions or tips on how should I begin and what stack to choose, I will start learning smart co tracts & other blockchain dev related stuff from today onwards, so I'll start the project a weeks time from now or two. So, just needed the input on the project regarding planning, how should I approach it?

Thank you in advance for all the suggestions and help!

I would suggest you try and make an e-commerce website without Blockchain first.

An e-commerce site is not exactly a small task, with all the payment integration/shopping cart functionality, user roles, API for the frontend, CMS/admin area. Trying to do all of that AND learning blockchain is going to be overwhelming.

  • Make it without blockchain.
  • Decide what blockchain technology you actually want to use
  • Learn that
  • THEN try to do this project.

Thank you so much for your reply! It helps make things clear certainly! Really appreciate the advice. I will then proceed with ecommerce first before actually moving to integrating blockchain into it.
