I'd definitely second the spree commerce recommendation. I've done 5-6 Spree sites in the last couple years and it will do everything you can think of for most commerce sites. Easy to extend and there is a good ecosystem of gems that help you dial in your functionality.
Our only issues have been around performance on super spikey days (think cyber monday). But if you implement straightforward view caching performance doesn't start to degrade till you are at the point where revenue is significant and you can afford some tuning work. That said - if you can get away with a shopify store on a subdomain for them that's even better - zero work.
