Recomended database for an e-commerce

Hi, am currenrly working on a MERN e-commerce project and cant seem to decide on which database to use between NoSQL and SQL. I will be using commerce.js to handle all our inventory, and payfast for checkouts, our database should store User(email, password), Customer(names, address), Order(retrieved from commerce.js) and Wishlist(since commerce.js doesnt handle it). Never worked on anything this big, and for most of my personal projects i used MongoDB and for this am having issue upon deciding.

NoSQL databases perfectly match the requirements and needs of the e-commerce market in terms of data availability and storage. Currently, the most popular database system of this type is MongoDB.

Choosing the right database for an e-commerce platform is definitely a crucial step. I've been involved in a few projects where having reliable support made a big difference, especially when issues popped up. If you're ever juggling e-commerce tools and need help, knowing how to contact BuyGoods https://buygoods.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html can be super useful. I came across some genuine user experiences on this page that showed their support team is pretty responsive. It’s always nice to have a solid backup when working with e-commerce systems, so you don’t get stuck with technical headaches.
