That would be great, thank you! How are your other users handling content and product management? Are they using a third party API or building out everything themselves?
If I’m using a third party ecommerce solution the Rest API plugin would need to be robust enough to do everything that a native plugin like the Xano connector does.
Thinking ahead I could see some issues where I need to sequence a set a async actions, ie A then B then C, but the data from B’s API call comes back before A. This would be done in Javascript using the promise, async and await functions to manage how asynchronous actions are handled.
Built out a seperate thread to discuss the posibility of WeWeb and Medusa as an e-commerce platform as per our discussion during the office hours. See that thread here: Using Medusa.js and NPM plugin to build out an e-commerce backend - Optimal Solution?

following all your threads on this topic Ben. I am curious on building out an ecommerce/SaaS on WeWeb as well (coming from Webflow + Wized + Xano)
Welcome to the forum! I haven’t made much progress on this. I was looking into medusa.js but I’m not sure how it will work within weweb. I believe you would set up a separate node.js server, install medesa.js to create the back end infrastructure and then use the Rest API within weweb to communicate with that infrastructure.
I don’t think there is really any good e-commerce solution. There are a lot of good options out their like shopify and big commerce which offer a quick way to have a back end and front end. It depends on how much customization you need.
For us it seemed a big lift to build out a whole no-code solution in WeWeb and Xano. Too many features to rebuild, variants, inventory etc. Seems like this would be a lot more work than using a solution that is out there already.
