Hey guys, I'm looking to make a simple website to sell some goods. I tried using Plebeian market and Shopstr, but there's just some bugs that get in the way for user experience. I'd like to purchase a domain, have a simple website then made and hosted somehow for free or very low cost, and I'm wondering if this is a thing? What are my options to creating a simple commerce website that enables payments via bitcoin/lighting and could also utilize BTCPay?
Apologies in advance for the seemingly ignorant question. I'm completely clueless to this sort of thing so I appreciate the help.
YES! Is one the best way to start, having integrated a WP site, a POS, a LN node and other functionalities you need. Also they have a very good documentation page.
Alternatively you could use a LNbits instance with a separate WP instance.

With LNbits you can have also a NOSTR market (like plebeian and shopstr)

Another alternative is to just run your own WP+Woocommerce site with Zaprite as payment processor platform, where you can add multiple forms of payment and backends.
Another alternative is to use https://cypher.space/ to build your own shop.
Never apologize for asking pertinent questions about how to use Bitcoin. Asking is learning.
Thank you Darth, I've been appreciating your help my friend.
WordPress + BTCPay, as for domain and hosting you can find recommendations from stackers if you do some research in SN.
Yep, I had someone recommend spaceship.com
