## What it is
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

- function: web-framework, search-engine, templating, state-management
- domain: e-commerce, web-development, backend, self-hosted
