Merchant, a lightweight ecommerce back end on Cloudflare Workers
Every time I had an idea for a small online shop, it felt harder than it should be. The tools were either big and expensive, or they locked you into their way of doing things. I wanted something simpler. Something I could launch and manage myself. And to be 100% honest I wanted to prove it could be done. All I really needed was an API that handled the boring parts of a store and then stayed out of the way. Products, inventory, carts, checkout, orders, etc... So I built Merchant. Merchant is an open-source e-commerce backend that runs on Cloudflare Workers. It uses D1 for the database and…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years.
