User guide

Who is this guide for?

This guide is primarily aimed at people building Drupal Commerce sites. It assumes familiarity with Drupal, including the knowledge to install and configure modules and to manage configuration in code. In the Drupal community, these users are referred to as "site builders." For those who are new to Drupal code and configuration management, the guide offers a high level overview with links to other community resources for further reading.

Secondarily, this guide aims to support the business users of Drupal Commerce sites who manage products, fulfill orders, run promotions, and more. Bear in mind that Drupal Commerce is meant to be customized, so the documentation in this guide will vary at places with any given site's interface and functionality. As such, it's not uncommon for site builders to provide supplemental documentation for the sites they build to identify those variances.

What can you do with Drupal Commerce?

Drupal Commerce has powered online stores since 2010 with use cases ranging from the typical retail of physical products to highly complex sales of digital goods, licensed assets, or subscription services. Its feature set satisfies both B2C and B2B use cases, and its unique architecture supports targeting different types of customer even within a single site via complex pricing logic, product availability rules, multiple checkout flows, etc.

Furthermore, the feature set of Drupal Commerce has been extended in hundreds of different ways through community developed extensions, all of which are freely available for download.

To learn more, please refer to the Drupal Commerce Features Overview.
