Drupal Commerce is open-source eCommerce software that augments the content management system Drupal. Within the context of a Drupal-based site, Drupal Commerce[2] presents products for purchase; walks customers through the checkout process; keeps track of invoices, receipts, orders, and payments; facilitates shipping and payment; and performs other functions needed by online merchants.

History[]

Drupal Commerce was created by Commerce Guys[3] under the leadership of Ryan Szrama, the author of shopping-cart software Übercart. It was originally born as a rearchitecture project of Übercart, and was called "Übercore" until January 14, 2010,[citation needed] when Mr. Szrama renamed it "Drupal Commerce". Version 1.0 was released on August 23, 2011.

Drupal Commerce has had steady growth since its introduction. Over 53,000 active sites use it,[4] including U.K. postal service Royal Mail,[5] international language school Eurocentres, McDonald's (France),[6] and hundreds of consumer brands.[5] The Drupal Commerce market has also supported publication of several instructional books and video courses.[7][8][9]

Extending Drupal Commerce[]

Like Drupal itself, Drupal Commerce can be extended through the use of modules that add functionality and themes that define visual presentation. There are more than 300 Drupal Commerce-specific modules[10] available for free in such categories as payment gateways, shipping service providers, and administrative and development tools.
