What are people using nowadays for custom ecommerce backends that are more flexible than Shopify but do not require building everything from scratch? I keep running into projects with custom pricing logic, multiple warehouses, weird checkout requirements, and third-party integrations where traditional store builders become painful really fast. At the same time, building carts, orders, inventory, payments, and admin systems from zero for every client feels like a complete waste of development time. Curious what stacks/frameworks people actually use for this kind of work?
