ROR Ecommerce is a Ruby on Rails 8.1 e-commerce platform aimed at small businesses, providing an admin for purchase orders, products, shipments, fulfillment, and orders, plus a customizable customer-facing shopping cart. It includes Searchkick/Elasticsearch product search, Tailwind CSS styling, Turbo + Stimulus via Import Maps, cart history tracking, and a double-entry accounting system.

Use cases

• build an online store for a small business
• set up a self-hosted rails ecommerce platform
• manage purchase orders and fulfillment from an admin panel
• track customer cart history and orders
• run product search with elasticsearch
• get double-entry accounting for an online shop

When to choose

• you know Rails and want a customizable ecommerce codebase rather than a black-box platform
• you need admin tooling for purchasing, shipments, and fulfillment out of the box
• you want built-in accounting and cart history in a Rails app

When to avoid

• you want a turnkey hosted storefront with no development
• you need a non-Ruby stack or headless commerce API
• you require a large extension/plugin ecosystem like mature commerce platforms offer
