hey, good luck with your first project

There are so many open source projects that would solve your problems. Yes, setting up shopify for your client is one (easiest) way to go (at the expense of your client paying some percentage for every order)

Depending on your clients requirements, we can find a solution that works best for them

Reply here, ill try to help you

The client's requirements are pretty relaxed. Looking at pricing for shopify and stripe, they take the same transaction fees and shopify just adds a 29$/month charge, since the buisness is small enough I assume they would buy the basic plan.

The client is likely fine with either option, what I'm most interested in is getting a working result without getting stuck, while still learning as much as I can from this. I've had a lot of trouble finding a job so I am trying some solo projects to try to get my feet wet in the industry.
