How much coding does this example site need for a production ecom site?

Hi! How much coding does this qor-example site need to get a basic show up and running into production? I've been looking for something faster and lighter than Magento2 (which is such a pain to setup and hosting costs are high)?

That question is hard to quantify. Apart from web-development know-how to polish the design and templating you need non-trivial golang knowledge to plug everything together.

To quote the docs:

QOR is not a "boxed turnkey solution". You need proper coding skills to use it. It's designed to make the lives of developers easier when building complex EC systems, not providing you one out of the box.

I am a coder myself and QOR is appealing because I wouldn't incur big hosting fees. The setup should be simpler as well - I hope? I've been looking at Magento2, but it results in really beefy hosts and it's slow.

Are you saying that it needs a lot of work on the frontend to make it look good? How are the backend bones? Does it have integration for payment systems?

Well this thread is quite old. For the payment system It looks like it may work out of the box but you can use a third party service to handle. I'm also trying to get something running maybe we can work together and even add some functionalities to qor-example so anyone can benefits
