Installing Odoo e-commerce


You install Odoo e-commerce like other Odoo applications.

After clicking on Install, Odoo will refresh the browser and you will be taken to the store page that Odoo has added to the website menu. As before, Odoo has a tutorial that takes you through the basics of the Odoo website. Here, we can see the basic Odoo shop setup that has been displayed using data that we entered throughout the book so far:

You may have noticed that there is a place holder to show you where the pictures for your product will be displayed once you add a picture for the product. We will see how to do that later in the chapter.

It certainly is an easy setup and the fact that all your products come in and everything is tied into the base Odoo applications is much less complex than alternate solutions such as synching Odoo to an external e-commerce system such as Magento.
