Creating an advanced e-commerce website in Rails : <p>Okay, so, as the title suggests I'm supposed to create a rails app. - an e-commerce platform. I've done some background research and found a few useful gems like shoppe, spree. Specifications of my website are:</p>

<ol>
<li>Searching using wide variety of options like price, company, title etc</li>
<li>Companies' accounts for uploading/updating products</li>
<li>Users' accounts for purchasing them</li>
<li>A staff panel (separate from companies' accounts) showing latest orders etc</li>
</ol>

<p>What I want to ask is, is there anyone who has created some sort of a similar app in rails? Which gems are the most useful? With one gem, let's say shoppe, extending its functionality: is it going to be easy like adding companies accounts, user accounts and admin panel? Any general guidelines that you have?</p>
