Hi

I already run a WooCommerce webshop selling vintage lamps that I currently have in stock.

Now I’m looking to expand the site with a separate archive/database section containing old lamps from the past — including lamps that are not necessarily for sale.

The idea is to create a kind of design archive with:

• Lamp models
• Manufacturers
• Designers
• Historical information
• Galleries/images
• Production years/specifications
• Search and filtering

I would also like the archive to work together with WooCommerce when I actually have a lamp in stock.

Example:
A lamp has its own archive page with history/specifications, and if I currently own one there would also be a “for sale” connection/product.

What would be the best WordPress setup for this?

Would you recommend:

• ACF + Custom Post Type UI?
• JetEngine?
• Pods?
• Something else?

Would love to hear from people who have built similar archive/database style sites alongside WooCommerce.

Thanks!
