As a Full-Stack how will you build an e-commerce web app and the mobile version

From a business perspective, my first approach would be to build on an existing ecommerce platform...Amazon, ebay, Yahoo etc. That avoids a host of security and payment and content issues...and ongoing support issues. The app would be a front end for the shopfront and be the place where features add value (rather than risk).

One particular risk using an existing platform reduces is the risk associated with maintaining the ecommerce site. A developer who likes to build stuff in node may not have long term interest in tasks like regulatory compliance and such...things like calculating VAT depending on the buyer's location and automating payments to the government concerned.

Good luck.

Yes, your arguments are also right @brudgers. Thanks for it. But It looks like build on an established e-commerce platform can be a pain when we need to add functionalities or customize existing one. What is your points about, please?
