Drupal Commerce Guide

This Drupal tutorial focuses on creating an e-commerce site with the Drupal Commerce module. Commerce is used to build customizable e-commerce functionality in Drupal. Commerce is a community favorite e-commerce solution in Drupal due to its flexibility and its use of entities. Nearly everything about Drupal Commerce can be customized both on the front-and back-end, which makes it the go-to solution for a wide variety of e-commerce applications on Drupal.

Drupal Commerce really isn't an out-of-the-box solution for Drupal e-commerce sites, however. That's because Drupal Commerce makes few assumptions about how your e-commerce store should operate. This leaves you with the flexibility to create your own custom store based on your own business needs and processes. While this is wonderful for site builders, it can be a bit daunting for users not as familiar with Drupal. For developers looking for a quicker solution to get started with Drupal Commerce, you can begin with Commerce Kickstart. Commerce Kickstart is a Drupal distribution that includes Drupal core and Commerce-related modules. While Commerce Kickstart is an excellent distribution package, installing Drupal Commerce and other related Commerce modules based on the e-commerce solution being implemented is a much lighter and often a more flexible solution.
