My question is, do you think any other tool is necessary to build a production ready project? For example, use a Shoppify [sic] integration for checkout and product inventory.
@bicicura I wouldn’t even bother building a Laravel-based site. I’d just use Shopify. Shopify’s already built everything you’d need to start an apparel store. There’s no point spending weeks or months reinventing the wheel and doing it from scratch.
As a developer, you need to learn when it’s right to buy versus build. Paying Shopify £19/month for its Basic plan will still work out cheaper than me writing stuff like cataloguing and inventory from scratch. Even if I spent a single hour writing code a month, at my hourly rate I would have already “spent” more than if I had just paid for a Shopify subscription.
