Overview

Drupal Commerce is the open source e-commerce framework built on Drupal, designed for merchants whose store is inseparable from their content. Rather than bolting a shop onto a content system, it models commerce natively: products and variations, carts and orders, a configurable checkout flow, flexible pricing and promotions, tax and currency handling, and pluggable payment gateways, all as first class Drupal entities. That means every commerce object is fieldable, referenceable and viewable through the same tools you use for the rest of the site, so catalog data, editorial content and customer experience are modelled together instead of synchronised between systems.

It suits merchants with complex catalogs or unconventional selling models that hosted platforms cannot express, publishers and brands whose storefront sits inside a larger content site, and agencies building bespoke commerce experiences they fully own.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg delivers Drupal Commerce fully installed behind Apache with MySQL, hardened well past a stock install and with the storefront already operational. The image ships no credential of any kind: on each instance's first boot a unique database password, a unique administrator password and a unique database root password are generated and written to a file only the root user can read, so nothing is ever shared between deployments. The store is installed onto your own instance at that first boot, with the commerce modules enabled and a default store already created, so the catalog and checkout are usable rather than a bare framework awaiting setup. The site address is derived per request from the incoming host, so the storefront answers correctly on a public address, a private address or a custom domain added later with no reconfiguration and no stale addresses baked into pages or emails. Both the framework and the commerce layer are pinned to verified current releases and checked against the publisher's own checksums at build time, the base is fully patched with unattended security upgrades enabled, and every deployment is paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.

Common uses

  • A self hosted online store with a complex catalog you fully control
  • A storefront built directly into a larger content or publishing site
  • Bespoke commerce experiences an agency builds, brands and owns
