I'm new to JAMstack development, so this question arose. I found only one example of using Netlify CMS for e-commerce store: https://www.fullstackrocket.com/products/gatsby-ecommerce-netlify-cms

Netlify CMS is great for managing and editing content that is stored in your git repository alongside your code as yaml, toml, json, or markdown files.

If it's a good choice for your usecase depends how you want to build your e-commerce store:

  • If you build your site and online store from scratch with a site generator (like gatsby, nextjs, hugo, jekyll...) and want to store your product information in your git repo, Netlify CMS could be a good choice.

  • If you use a site generator but manage your products in a proprietary e-commerce platform like Shopify, you could use Netlify CMS for managing other pages on your website or your blog

I checked Fullstack Rocket here and here, there are no updates on their blog since April 2020, so I would ask if their products are up to date.
