Debian consultants *should* know how to set up a Debian site. This *is*
a Debian list. And the listed consultants is moderated. Unlike numerous
lists of so-called consultants without provenance, verifiable company
status, unknown liability coverage, etc.
Debian consultants listed on the Debian sites as supporting ecommerce
(websites etc) *should* know how to setup Debian sites for ecommerce.

If you're going to criticize at least offer a viable alternative *and*
check the list of Debian consultants before you declare the list is useless.

Did you check that fact before you pronounced it?
HINT: no you didn't. (there are a number of consultants on that list who
do offer managed ecommerce solutions).

No. Not close. Not even rationally comparable.
Recommending a list of Debian consultants as a starting place for
finding consultants who support *Debian* *and* *ecommerce* is an
excellent choice.
And by far better than the list you did *not* provide when criticizing it.
An alternative would have been to point the OP at a list of companies
that provide Debian and search it for a managed solution:-
