Generally, no, not without *very* careful configuration. Frequently changing prices and inventory require dynamic content. You'd need Page Rules to bypass the cache for product pages, shopping cart, checkout, and account areas. A short TTL for product pages might be acceptable, but caching sensitive data like payment information is strongly discouraged. Consider more granular caching strategies instead.
