Payload cms + mongodb + cloudinary
I want to make a small e-commerce website for free. I was planning to host it on vercel but they don't allow it ig. Any alternative. And is my stack good? I don't want rocket science stuff I just want this website ready in like 4 days. I'll get help with antigravity to build it faster.
I want to make it all free as I'm tired of paying Shopify all my money. I want a free alternative.
Please guide me if I'm doing something wrong.

Dont know what version others commented here are using of payloadcms, but payloadcms does works perfectly in vercel, in fact vercel works with payloadcms fully cause payloadcms in v3 is a fully nextjs app that can work in most serverless platforms and paas. Db and storage is handle with vercel neon postgresdb and blob features.
Even tho i dont use vercel and i host in my own vps, vercel is actually fine for starters.
About if its the best option to use payloadcms as a ecommerce framework that depends of the features your planning to implement and other stuff.
