I'm looking to build an eCommerce website and seeking advice from professionals on the most reliable tech stack that I can use. Currently, the website is built on top of WordPress with WooCommerce, but the company has grown up, and evidently, the number of products have been increased. The site needs a fresh code because WordPress doesn't make it anymore.

The stack I'm most familiar with is PHP + Symfony + MySQL + Apache HTTP Server or NGINX. Headless eCommerce is the one I'm looking for, because of the huge complexity, it would be great to separate the backend from the frontend. Not sure about CMSs, because they had a huge amount of functionality that the application doesn't need. I've been looking also at PrestaShop, it seems ok, but not sure about customization and front-end integration. As a custom solution, I have found Sylius or Aimeos for the backend, but I'm not too sure about a frontend stack.

Could you please give some suggestions about the frontend stack and if the ones for the backend are ok?

You need PIM and Drupal can both do eCommerce site and PIM catalog with many modules. Tests are available and extension are coded as Open Source too. Smaller cost of ownership. Require knowledge and more debug to get good result. From version 10 it will provide automatic updates that required for e-commerce in term of security

We are a consultation service provider, we use WooCommerce as our financial management system, our business model based on packages, you buy a package with X number of consultation, buying a package allows you to benefit from this package X times, we having our own custom plugin to manage this process, but we are looking to enhance our implementation by using a supported plugin or better system design, but we are struggling to find a plugin that customizes WooCommerce to match our business model, do you know any similar plugins? If not we are open to any system design ideas

Plugin development is widespread and very simple as far as programming goes and as it's unlikely you will find a plugin that accurately fits your needs you should stay with this line of attack. If by chance you are losing faith in your existing developer I recommend you expand your horizons with additional developers. In order to do this you will need to create a complete specification of your needs (or have someone do this for you) so that you can post this specification on freelancer sites or (preferably) via programmer recommendations.

hi Attia, From what you're looking for there may be an option to configure woocommerce booking so that when someone has purchased a product they are placed onto a group membership (woocommerce plugin ) that allows them to buy further items. Which I would suggest you create a package using https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-bookings/ which allows you to book these slots.

So the way it would work is that: The customer registers on your wordpress site and purchase a package which provides them10 consultations.

The membership/subscription package then moves them to a group for 10 consultation based on the purchase of that package, then when they book their consultation you can then move them to a 9 consultation group, and so on until you then downgrade them to not have access to the woocommerce booking to book your consultants.

With that membership/group setting it will allow you to segragate your users to see how many consultations are left and present them different prices if needed to renew packages, etc...

Only quickest way to do it without coding.
