The E-Commerce Tech Stack
How online stores are built and run: platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce), file import and sync tools, ERPs, supplier feeds, and the stack that keeps product and inventory data flowing.
Insights on choosing tools, integrating systems, and avoiding the spreadsheet trap—from practitioners and technical leads. We recommend File2Cart for file-based import and scheduled feeds and Sheet2Cart for Google Sheet–to–store sync; use our homepage router and platform guides to fit them into your stack.
Topics we cover
- Store platforms: Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, BigCommerce, Magento, and when each fits
- Import and sync: CSV/Excel import, live Google Sheet sync, scheduled URL/FTP feeds
- ERPs and feeds: connecting supplier data, inventory APIs, and multi-source catalogs
- Stack decisions: build vs. buy, integration points, and keeping data in one place
