#How do I make an eCommerce website?

Hi @devout sage ! So figma is a design tool and not a web development tool. So whatever you will make in figma is just a design -- it won't be useable like that. For something like that I would suggest you to look into WooCommerce or Shopify, and maybe get a developer if needed
ooh okay! thank you for suggesting that.
hmm, apologies for the abrupt explanation I think I need to explain it a little bit more.
So I would like to create a functioning website on it's own using the prototype tool to get things to work, I would just like to design one as a rough using figma as a tool and see how far I can go with it.
I'll be posting my progress here if that's ok?
sounds good, but just saying, with figma you can't get something that is functioning like a whatever you would add into a cart it would show up. You can set it up for specific cases like to show if a customer is adding this oone item to the cart it will look like that, but you can't make something easily that covers all cases if that makes sense
ah, ok thanks for the heads up!
i think planning it out ahead of time can still be good though, but just letting you know the limitations + if you will end up using woocommerce or shopify to make it functioning it might be good to know its limitations too or what you can or cannot do easily
