Building an Online Shop

In the previous chapter, you created a follow system and built a user activity stream. You also learned how Django signals work and integrated Redis into your project to count image views.

In this chapter, you will start a new Django project that consists of a fully featured online shop. This chapter and the following two chapters will show you how to build the essential functionalities of an e-commerce platform. Your online shop will enable clients to browse products, add them to the cart, apply discount codes, go through the checkout process, pay with a credit card, and obtain an invoice. You will also implement a recommendation engine to recommend products to your customers, and you will use internationalization to offer your site in multiple languages.

In this chapter, you will learn how to:

  • Create a product catalog
  • Build a shopping cart using Django sessions
  • Create custom context processors
  • Manage customer orders...
