Commerce
Baskets, orders and payments — the engine every catalogue sells through. One basket and one payment, whether it holds a product, a course or a promoted listing.
Everything below is declared by Commerce itself, so it describes this deployment rather than a manual — and it is rewritten whenever the program changes.
What it is
- Its key is Commerce, which is also the prefix of every component it owns.
- It is bought: a site has it only when the registry records that this customer bought it.
What it may be allowed to do
These are the permissions it declares. A person sees one of its screens only where his role carries the matching permission.
- commerce.manage
- commerce.refund
- commerce.view
What it puts on a page
4 components, each of which can be dropped onto a page in the composer.
Basket
What the visitor has put aside, and the way to pay for it.
Placed as Commerce.Cart.
One setting:
- Offer a way back to the shop — a switch, left alone it is true. Drawn only where the section actually has a shop page to go back to.
Checkout
The form that turns a basket into an order.
Placed as Commerce.Checkout.
2 settings:
- Ask for a telephone number — a switch, left alone it is true. Never required — a field somebody must fill in to buy is a field that loses buyers.
- Offer a place for a note — a switch, left alone it is true.
Currency
Lets a reader choose which currency he sees prices in.
Placed as Commerce.CurrencySwitcher.
One setting:
- Show the word beside it — a switch, left alone it is true. Off leaves the chooser alone, for a header with no room for a word.
Saved things
What a signed-in member has kept to come back to.
Placed as Commerce.Favourites.
2 settings:
- Show what each one costs — a switch, left alone it is true. Off leaves the list as names and pictures, for a site that is not a shop.
- Offer a basket button on each row — a switch, left alone it is true. Drawn only on a row that can actually be bought as things stand.
