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.

Default order states and status codes


The site we have built so far will provide the following order status codes:

When you view your orders, you can determine the progress that the customer has made through the checkout process.

When a customer has paid in full for an order, the status will be updated to Pending: Pending. This is the default behavior for Drupal Commerce, but note that you may want to change this for certain types of products, where there is no physical fulfillment of the order (for example, membership or digital products).
