Rails/Django is the quickest route. Especially rails with huge gems ecosystem and dev experience way beyond what python can offer.
React seems like overkill for a simple task like this.

#12If you go ahead with this, you’re not building a website, you’re building an app - essentially a micro e-commerce platform. I’ve built out a custom e-commerce app with Django for a client. Very similar to your requirements - product options, cart, orders etc.. There is a lot more than you think. We actually championed using Shopify in the beginning but the client needed custom functionality and integration with a leg…
I can use shopify, is that what you would recommend? The goal is just to get something that looks nice and works for minimal cost for the client, and to learn some professionally applicable skills for me.
