[Store] Operation Code Swag #182

Closed Swinney101 closed 8 years ago

Swinney101 commented 8 years ago

Covering both issues of a store page and figuring out how to source products with the Operation Code logo for marketing/advertisement.

I am a GIT noob so there are going to be some learning mistakes I am sure.

Hey @Swinney101 - this seems like a great idea!

How do you plan on implementing the store? This seems like it may be better suited as a milestone with a bunch of tasks associated with it?

jjhampton commented 8 years ago

@Swinney101 We discussed using www.moltin.com for one of the projects Operation Code's Deploy team was helping out on. It might be worth thinking about for our own store. Cloud-based API service that hosts your store backend. Storefront is language-agnostic. Looks really cool.

@Swinney101 @jjhampton Anything here we could use? Previously, @Wimsy113 did a first hack w/ rails. cc @rickr

@davidmolina That shop scaffolding from last year would still be a starting point - if we want to use the Shoppe gem. Still needs a lot of work. Question is - do we want to build our own e-commerce shop and maintain it , or leverage something else that's already been built?

I haven't looked through the Shoppe documentation, but I think whatever's the most lightweight and quickest option is the way to go. Reid Blomquist in the Slack channel could also have some good input with his knowledge of e-commerce. Another option he mentioned was SnipCart: https://snipcart.com/blog/static-site-e-commerce-integrating-snipcart-with-middleman

Moltin has Ruby SDK here that has integration w/ Rails - this may enable us to do Moltin API calls directly from the existing Operation Code Rails app -> Moltin API.

@jjhampton Agree. Love to have Reid's input. Much like SRVD, love to leverage Moltin API.

I am wading through some rails tutorials to get spun up. My web background thus far only extends through HTML/CSS. Looking forward to work with the API's. I more jumped on this project/discussion from the marketing/retail side, how do we get op code swag and grow the brand. Been absent the past two days enjoying a short break before class starts back up tomorrow.

Hey Ryan! Happy Sunday. Working the swag this week w/ a few co's and drop-shipment. In the interim, we should explore the Moltin API and getting it working properly.
