When initially setting up Drupal Commerce, we will need to enable at least one currency. It was built from scratch to fix all of the mistakes done in the initial release and to leverage the new Drupal 8 framework.
What is new in Commerce 2.x? Drupal 7 commerce contrib modules that are now in Drupal commerce 2.x coreĭrupal Commerce branch for Drupal 8 was started in 2014 by Commerce Guys, who maintain the version for Drupal 7. Every solutions like can be its own business model not covered by a general solution. We see more and more digital products, like downloadable apps, subscription-based services, ebooks, membership etc. Let's step back and try to understand what e-commerce is, because it's not only a shop that sells notebooks online and ships them with UPS. How can Drupal Commerce survive in the world of Shopify and WooCommerce, where setting a simple web shop takes a day or less? It makes sense that we ask ourselves if we even need a commerce solution for Drupal when there are so many doing it, and doing it more efficient. Do we need yet another commerce platform? Blog posts and tweets were written to ensure Drupal commerce is not neglected. Judging from the issues queue, I'm not sure this module has much support going on, so it could be weeks or months before its ready for prime-time.įor the countless hours over the past few days, I have not gotten an inch closer to having a stable or working shipping method, and without that, Drupal Commerce is just a fun new project to learn but not much use to a client wanting to sell on the web.Recent events, when Acquia announced its partnership with Magento, shook the Drupal community. and i just don't know enough about the Drupal Commerce API and module development to create my own shipping module. I've tried to setup rules based on the sample and that doesn't work. and even that is sometimes not enough to uninstall/reinstall it.
Drupal commerce shipping how to#
I read your post on how to do this (thankfully!!!) its a whole production of manually deleting tables and records. Trying to uninstall/reinstall the module, as you know first hand, is not a pretty thing either. a user cannot even change their shipping method (which is a basic requirement). have you tried checking out, picking a shipping method (even the example), click continue, go to the review screen, hit the 'back' button on the form and get error messages that won't go away? Bad bad bad. I was able to fix it to work with Beta 4 of Drupal Commerce, but everything I do with the module just leads to WSOD errors. sadly I'm starting to see no other alternative. but whatever.)Īfter ripping my hair out for 3 days on this shipping, Im nearly ready to chuck it all in and start from scratch with UberCart.
(i guess that's because developers hate having to write documentation, which is understandable to some point.
and very powerful tools become not that usable by ppl. (basically i 'just' need the system to add a different shipping price depending on the customer's country and order's weight, which i guess should be something pretty standard as seller's need)Īm i missing something or is setting up shipping really that tricky?Īs a footnote, a user's guide of sort that shows how to implement some of the standard procedures (some standard shipping methods, payment set-ups and the likes, like you did for setting up products) would be nothing less than gold.ĭon't wanna sound harsh, cause all the open source thing and the work behind is GREATLY appreciated, but i always have the feeling there's not enough documentation on things, sometimes there's no documentation at all, which is a shame, cause often you go completely bananas to understand how to do the most simple things. Looking at the commerce_shipping_example.module right now and i'm quite confused on what i need to do.
That sounds like it's gonna be an hell in the ass for me (i mean, as non-developer). I have attempted to make this as simple as possible and provided an example module, to show how this could be done." "To use this module, you will have to create a custom module and create your own shipping module. I'm not a developer (and that's the main reason for me to use a CMS like Drupal) and i have the feeling the whole Drupal Commerce is quite tricky for non-developers.
