In this text, Rafał will present Drupal-based websites from the commerce industry.
 

Drupal Commerce is a comprehensive tool for selling physical products over the Internet. In this post, we will show you how to set up a store with little effort, in order to sell electronic products, or more precisely – to sell access to any files. In addition to Commerce, I will use the Group module to achieve the goal.

When creating an e-commerce platform for a given industry, one needs to adapt the system to specific types of products. Every product type has different characteristics, e.g. size, colour, etc. Check out how easily you can customise Drupal Commerce to sell any type of product. We are happy to tell you how to easily add attributes to products for several selected industries. We are a Drupal agency and we deal with it every day.

At Droptica, we designed and implemented a new design of an online store for mobile devices for one of the oldest publishers in Poland. We used Drupal 7 Commerce and did some search engine optimisation. The results? Increased sales!

However, entering the industry comes with great competition. So, what are the unique e-commerce challenges?  Newbie online merchants need to tackle not only small players but also e-commerce giants like Amazon or Alibaba.

Many of the applications were set-up with the Commerce Kickstart distribution, which was based on this add-on. What’s the way to do it with D8?
