Short Story

Me and my son started a retro video games shop πŸš€, we used the following tools, which amounted to less than a 1USD for operational costs per year

This is the Cost of our project for the first 20 days of July

Project Cost

How we did it ?

  • Firebase > Pay as you go cloud database, storage and user management
  • SHELF CMS > Online Commerce Management System, that you login to with your firebase credentials. It will convert your firebase into a Headless commerce CMS
  • PayPal > We accept credit cards πŸ’³ with PayPal
  • Cloudflare R2 > We store images/json assets with Cloudflare R2 storage service, which we connect to with SHELF-CMS. They do not have egress fees like other providers (which is amazing)
  • Cloudflare Pages > We serve our website static website with this amazing service
  • Firebase Functions > for creating Checkouts, Payments and Marketing Emails, we also connect it to SHELF-CMS

Long Story

There is no long story, simply follow the instructions πŸ“– @ SHELF-CMS.

It is really fast to setup
