This is great! Congratulations on shipping!! You should add "Show HN " prefix to your title, since this looks like a show and tell.

I checked out the demo site and the Admin Dashboard. Seems to have everything needed to host an ecommerce site... except, I didn't find any payment gateway integration. Even checked http://demo.simplcommerce.com/Admin#/configuration and didn't find it.

Any plans to integrate payment gateway or API (ex Stripe ) in the near future, or was I not looking in the right place?

Thank you! P.S. Any recommendations for hosting this? Can this be deployed on Amazon Lambda? Or will I need Azure? How about traditional hosts like DiscountASP.Net? Any pro and cons you are aware of?

I recently stumbled on QOR (http://getqor.com - https://github.com/qor/qor), which is a set of libs in Go that you can quickly build a webshop with. QOR seems to use a combination of vanilla-JS and jQuery, where SimplCommerce uses Angular.

Good to see these efforts, as some of the more popular open source e-commerce systems are showing their age (often aggravated by the underlying languages/ecosystems showing their age as well).

Great stuff, I love seeing what people are building with .NET Core. I feel like I'm getting much closer to the point that I could confidently commit to building a greenfields project for a client in it.

Are there any parts of the project you could highlight as being much harder or easier as a result of building it in .NET Core over, say, .NET 4.6?

Why is this relevant to the Hacker News crowd when it clearly states "prerequisite: SQL Server".

Well, if you had actually read the page, you'd see it also supports PostgreSQL and MySQL. In addition, it's open source so you could implement your own data store. Finally, I don't see why SQL Server is somehow irrelevant to the 'Hacker News crowd'; it's a very good RDBMS.

Fun thing I did on the weekend: Install mssql-server-linux into a Docker container on my Windows workstation.

Just saying...
