Medusa is limited to design or what ?

[lean blaze]

I have seen many people discussing medusa as b2b and have many show cases in b2b website, why ? Any specific reason why people prefer to use medusa for b2b. Not for b2c also most of medusa storefront ui are boring and old school, not fancy like worpress or shopify ,

Or I just encountered these pints only and am culprit 😬

On admin side it’s just and plugin you can make your own as headless means api first yup there are various b2c and example but mostly b2c people want to use shopify as it make sense due to economics but at b2c shopify sky rocket their prices so most of the client here are with b2c use case

Hey @lean blaze while it is true that there are a lot of B2B projects, i use Medusa for my production ready B2C multi vendor marketplace for vintage clothing and it works fantastic.

Regarding your comment about the storefronts UIs. Remember that these are just starters and work pretty well to expedite development, but then it is up to you to how cool and pretty your customization results will be.

Also, check out the latest Pyalod integration guide, which i believe will make these kind of customizations and trying different options from a UI standpoint easier and faster: https://docs.medusajs.com/resources/integrations/guides/payload

thanks for detailed reply , i just read your recommended guide about Payload intergration , after reading another question arises. if i have to push/sync my products to payload and then fetch them in storefront end , whats the purpose of medusa here ? if i have medusa i am able to fetch my products directly from medusa. also i have options to add update products directly in payload cms ,

Medusa is much more than just a product catálog, it is a full fledged ecommerce engine, so You get a lot of additional functionality: promotions, inventory management, fulfillment and payment services and much more.

In payload You basically sync the entities that You Will want to control how to show in your frontend client. In the case of productos soecifically, it is useful to control and chance the look of things like the Product Detail Page and the Product Listong for example.

This is generally how CMS work, so it is to manage content, always in the context of UI presentation
