Hosting shop on vercel

Hey guys, I have a quick question. My girlfriend wants a website where she can sell her art pieces and I want to make a web for her. Is it possible to host it on vercel?

Anything on vercel is going to require significantly more technical knowledge to setup than something on squarespace or Shopify. If your only building a very basic shop I would check out those options first, and then if they can’t do what you are looking for you could build it yourself. this isn’t to dissuade you from building it yourself, just keep in mind often the simplest solution that works is the best

ofc you can but you need to pay the 20$ you cant do commercial on the free plan maybe using something else like fly.io or railway to deploy might be cheaper then

aws amplify is also pretty simple afaik and i would assume that ends up dirt cheap

You could also consider using something like Etsy to actually handle the commerce portion of the setup, then just link to the products on the website (hacky, yes)

There's probably someone in this discord who wouldn't mind sitting down with you and setting up aws real quick if they knew what you had to deploy and they had done it before.

Netlify is a good alternative to do commercial stuff on a free plan
