Commerce

While a content website is fairly simple, going from a content website to a commerce website - with a web shop, products shown in frontend, and a checkout process integrating with external payment and shipping services - is a more complicated affair.

In headlines you need to do the following:

  1. Create a commerce context for the website - e.g. currencies, countries you ship to, languages your products should be available in, etc.
  2. Configure DW10 to match your product portfolio - e.g. create custom attributes, define data models, product relations, etc.
  3. Create or import products - and related data, e.g. price matrix prices, variant combinations, product families, etc.
  4. Create a product index - and e.g. queries and facets for frontend and backend use
  5. Create a product catalog app - for rendering a product list and product details pages
  6. Create a shopping cart app - for handling the checkout process

Many of these tasks are outside the scope of the implementer-documentation - which aims to teach you how to implement commerce-related templates in a design - but if you're new to DW or need to refresh your knowledge you can follow the implementing tutorial.

You can also consult the manual when you're unfamiliar with a concept in DynamicWeb 10 or how to use a specific tool.
