Why I’m Using Strapi for My E-Commerce Store’s Backend

I’ve been developing an e-commerce website, and I finally reached the point where I needed to build the backend.

Now, here’s the thing—I really didn’t want to write a separate frontend just to manage products, orders, and users. I needed something faster and more efficient.

That’s when I found Strapi.

🚀 Why Strapi?

1️⃣ Auto-Generated Admin Panel
Instead of coding an entire admin dashboard, Strapi provides one out of the box. That means I can focus on building my store, not managing admin UI components.

2️⃣ Customizable API
Strapi lets me fully customize the API to fit my store’s needs—whether it’s adding custom product attributes or integrating third-party payment services.

3️⃣ Saves Development Time
As a solo developer, time is gold. Strapi eliminates the need to build both a backend and an admin dashboard, letting me ship features faster.
