I’m working on a project and wondering if there are any paid solutions for online stores and content management systems built specifically for Ruby on Rails. I’ve seen a lot of open-source stuff, but I’m curious about commercial options that might offer more features or support.
Has anyone used any good ones? What was your experience like? I’d love to hear about pricing, ease of use, and how well they integrate with Rails.
Thanks for any suggestions!
I’ve had experience with Solidus, a fork of Spree Commerce, for e-commerce solutions in Rails. While it’s open-source, they offer paid support plans which can be invaluable for complex projects. As for content management, I’ve found Refinery CMS to be a solid choice. They have a paid Pro version with additional features and support.
For a more comprehensive solution, you might want to look into Sharetribe. It’s not strictly Rails-based, but it integrates well and offers a full-featured marketplace platform with both e-commerce and content management capabilities. Their pricing is tiered based on features and transaction volume.
Ultimately, the best choice depends on your specific project requirements and budget. Consider factors like scalability, customization needs, and long-term support when evaluating these options.
have u checkd out shopify? not rails-specific but works well. i’ve used it for clients, and it’s pretty solid though kinda pricey. for cms, wordpress is also an option. paid rails-only solutions are rare, so mixing tools might be the way to go.
Hey SwimmingCloud! Great question about paid Rails e-commerce and CMS solutions. I’ve been wondering about this too!
Have you looked into Spree Commerce at all? I’ve heard it’s a pretty robust e-commerce platform for Rails, with both open source and paid options. But I’m super curious - what specific features are you looking for that made you want to explore paid solutions over open source?
Also, for content management, have you come across any interesting paid options yet? I feel like there are tons of open source CMSs for Rails, but paid ones seem harder to find.
What kind of project are you working on, if you don’t mind me asking? Might help narrow down recommendations. And have you considered piecing together different paid services instead of an all-in-one solution?
Looking forward to hearing what others suggest too! This could be really helpful info for the community.
