Hi Product Hunt, I'm Badii. I build The Merchant Engine on my own.
I build online stores for clients. Most of them need things the big hosted platforms treat as extras: Arabic with a real right-to-left layout, French next to it, and cash on delivery as the main way to pay. I kept rebuilding the same backend for each client, so I turned it into one engine.
What you get:
A NestJS API on PostgreSQL and Redis, an Angular admin and a server-rendered storefront, in one repository
French, English and Arabic (RTL) out of the box
Cash on delivery and manual payment
One command to install: ./setup.sh asks for the store name, brand, locales and currency, then starts the stack
MIT license. No paid tier, no license key, no caps
You can click around the demos without installing anything: storefront at demo.themerchantengine.com and admin at demo-admin.themerchantengine.com.
The feedback that would help me most: what would stop you from using this for a client store? And if you try the install, tell me where it stopped or how long it took.
Update: v1.0.1 is out. Stores can now take card payments through Stripe, either in an embedded form or on a hosted Stripe page. The operator enters the keys in the admin, and cash on delivery, bank transfer and gift cards still work. Not built yet: SMTP and other mail adapters, and live shipping adapters. Release notes: https://github.com/Xdabier/theme.... If you had to pick the next thing, which one: more card providers, or live shipping rates?
