We like to work on a side-projects (maybe even to a fault). We recently released a new SaaS-based e-commerce platform geared for small businesses. This platform is unique in several ways. First, the database is not really a database at all. The eCommerce platform's data is stored in Google Sheets. The product catalog, category management, and multi-lingual support are maintained using Google Sheets, and every data modification is updated in real-time. We initially started this project as a “proof of concept”, but we were pleasantly surprised how quickly we could launch a new e-commerce storefront.
The following are other notable features:
- Google Sheets administrative panel coupled with super fast data caching to improve performance. All updates are performed in real-time, and secure. No need to install any software.
- Supports PayPal Express. Other payment options to follow soon.
- Built with AngularJS by Google on the front-end.
- Mobile responsive. Looks great on both desktops and mobile devices. Give it a try: http://store.vineos.io
- Very theme-able: The sample site theme can be easily modified.
- It's FREE.
- Mult-lingual support; add as many languages as you want.
