Personally, I would consider using Payload for this because of it's custom collection types and out of the box stripe integrations. It's also open source, so you don't have to pay to use the software. It may be tricky to implement some of the ecommerce features, like a checkout process, implementing variants, shipping/taxes etc. Alternatively I might also recommend using Shopify for something like this. If you need help deciding on what's best, don't be afrard to reach out! Thanks for your comment and good luck!

Thanks for your feedback! I am preparing more Payload content. If there's anything specific you'd like to see, please let me know. Happy New Year!

Hi! Thank you for reaching out! I'd love to hear more about your project. On my website here: westsidetechsolutions.com/contact you can find the best ways to contact me or you can fill out the form and I can reach out to you! Have a great day!

Appreciate the feedback! More payload content coming soon :)

Hey Mike, more Payload CMS content is coming soon! I am still doing some client work in Craft CMS. I've found it to be quite niche work and I really do think Craft is awesome, even though Payload is my preferred choice. I'm still passionate about craft and wanted to a comparison like this for a long time!

Yes, I learned that matrix blocks are handled via entries in Craft 5 after I made this video: you are totally right. I think that is such a great update from Craft!

Yes, if I said somewhere in the video that's not the case, it should be corrected!

More coming every weekday! Feel free to subscribe! :)

Thank you for your feedback and for subscribing! Please let me know if there's any other content you'd like to see! Have a great day!

I agree! I am also a very big fan of tailwind. I only just learned about v0 recently and have not had an opportunity to use it yet. Most of my work lately has been consulting or more complex back end work. I can't WAIT to try it out!

@jjaimealeman That was one of the biggest selling points for me. Just between that and it being open source (making projects much more affordable for my clients VS Craft CMS's license) was enough to get me to change. Also, the local API for querying data in NextJS vs having to make HTTP requests.. I have not been either! I have not tried out Astro! I will check it out. What do you like about Astro over NextJS out of curiosity? I am definitely open to finding the best fit!

@@WestSideTechnologySolutions Astro by default does not ship any JavaScript to the client/browser (unless you specifically choose to). Result in smaller file size, faster delivery, etc. Has a feature they call "Islands" where you decide when/how a component should become "interactive". Doesn't include ANY javascript, but if you so wanted, you could integrate React, Vue, Svelte, etc. amother bunch of others. Their Discord community is full of some great people. ALways helpful. The dev team is always cranking out new features. 10/10 would recomend.

@@jjaimealeman Thank you so much for the great recommendation. I'd be really curious to investigate the performance difference. I am going to look at this tomorrow. Thanks again for your great insights!

What do you like about Sanity?

Totally agree! What do you like about it?

What ultimately made you make your decision? I am very curious to hear thoughts from someone who had the same decision to make!

@@WestSideTechnologySolutions I dismissed craft after it gave many errors on production hosting and fixing some gave even more (there were no errors in local development). As it was the best solution php could offer, I went to node to search alternatives and tried few. So ultimately I chose it because it had interface translations for admin panel (added couple weeks before I found it) and was easy to push local changes to production

@@virtual5754 I am surprised to hear about the production only errors... What a headache though! Sounds like some very fortunate timing though. Thank you for sharing!

Interesting, I am not familiar with Astro! I will definitely check it out! Thank you! I think its cool you use payload for your full time job. That's something I never got to do! Which CMS did you switch from? As you can see, I moved over from Craft CMS. I loved Craft, but payload is just such a better fit for me and much more affordable (open source vs license) for some of my customers!

@@WestSideTechnologySolutions We switched from our proprietary system and was looking at WordPress as an alternative among other SaaS CMSes like Sanity and Prismic. Payload gives the best flexibility with the least vendor lock in.

Totally agree with you! I've been using both on different projects. I'm currently upgrading a site to Payload 3.0 and it's awesome!

Thank for your feedback! I did have the meeting with the payload team. Their office is about a 10 minute drive for me! I don't think I'll end up making a video on the topic, but it was cool to meet them and I hope I get to work with them as I get more invested into Payload's system. I am also patiently waiting for 3.0. I have some big plans! Thanks for your comment and please let me know if there are any other specific topics you'd like to see regarding payload, or anything in general! Have a great day!
