I tried building commerce systems in a few Vue/Nuxt js sites and figured out that building the backend part of that is in a very bad shape right now.

You either have to custom code everything or use woocommerce or Magento APIs.

Getting woocommerce or wordpress system to work as API is very difficult and poorly implemented with multiple plugins to manage register, cart, orders, payments etc.

Implementing a full blown Magento install for this is just overkill.

I looked into couple of hosted SaaS in this space and they were too new with limited functionality.

Glad this space is picking up. All the best.

Thanks subhashchy. Our opinion is that there are a lot of products that get you "half way", but that still leaves the last few miles to trudge through to have a complete solution. Let me know if there's anything that you think Commerce doesn't provide that would still be missing on your end - we want to make sure we're not just bikeshedding things to death without any outside input.
