Getting Started with Drupal Commerce

By: Richard Jones

Overview of this book

Drupal Commerce is emerging as the preferred option for open source e-commerce, and it also stands up to comparison against established proprietary systems. Getting Started with Drupal Commerce is an introductory guide to building an online store using Drupal Commerce in Drupal 7. Getting Started with Drupal Commerce takes you step-by-step through a complete e-commerce website build, from a clean installation of Drupal to a working example store. Starting with how to set up a Drupal development environment, we then discuss the planning of an e-commerce site and the typical questions you should be asking before getting started. Next, we walk through all of the essential setup required for most types of e-shop, including taxes, shipping, discounts and coupons, the checkout process, and backend order management. By the end of Getting Started with Drupal Commerce, you will be fully-equipped to plan and build your own store and you will understand the fundamental principles of Drupal Commerce that will enable you to progress to more complex store builds.

Simple convention for the use of status codes


The way that you use the status codes depends on how you model your order fulfillment process.

When setting up a simple status code, I define the status codes as follows:

Status Code

Description

Cart / Checkout States

Customer is still shopping and has not yet completed the payment process.

Pending: Pending

Payment received for the order, but no fulfillment action has yet started.

Pending: Processing

Order is being handled ready for delivery. For example, in stores for picking.

Completed: Completed

Order has been collected by courier and is in transit.

The order status can be changed in the quick edit or full edit screens.
