Drupal Commerce is emerging as the preferred option for open source e-commerce, and it also stands up to comparison against established proprietary systems. Getting Started with Drupal Commerce is an introductory guide to building an online store using Drupal Commerce in Drupal 7. Getting Started with Drupal Commerce takes you step-by-step through a complete e-commerce website build, from a clean installation of Drupal to a working example store. Starting with how to set up a Drupal development environment, we then discuss the planning of an e-commerce site and the typical questions you should be asking before getting started.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

A decent guide for those that like to kill trees...

I've been a Drupal developer for seven years, and have used Ubercart to create a number of ecommerce sites. About the time Drupal 7 was introduced, Ubercart became less maintained, as the Commerce Guys were shifting their efforts to Drupal Commerce. It is a very good product, but the shift to it was not as easy as I had thought it would be. I wish I had this book when I was first getting started with Commerce, as it explains many of the new concepts very thoroughly. I've become a big fan of Packt books for their clarity and useful knowledge, and the way they are edited for accuracy.This book starts by explaining the basic structure of Commerce, and a list of companion modules that allow extending its features. The most useful lesson was the stress put on good up-front planning of a commerce site. By carefully considering the features and options required, you will save a lot of time and grief when building out your site if you think out a correct structure before diving in.One area of confusion to new Commerce user is the difference between product entities and displays. This book explains the concept well, and suggests some helper modules to make creating a product catalog much easier.The backbone of Commerce is using Rules, which allow a great deal of customization of the ordering, checkout, and payment processes. This is explained with some good examples. Payment and shipping choices are also explained quite clearly. There are lots of small pieces that fit together to create the final store, and I found the overview this book gives helpful in understanding their relationships.Finally, there is a discussion of tax options, discounting, and order management. By the time you complete this book, you will have a very clear understanding of the basics of creating an online store. One of the things I liked about this book is that it has good examples of different strategies and presents them in a clear and readable way, but doesn't dumb them down. There is enough explanation for the first time user, and some excellent advice even for the most seasoned of developers. It helps to have some basic experience with Drupal, but I think in combination with the Kickstart distribution, most developers would have little trouble creating a successful store by following the good advice presented here.I would recommend this book for anyone wishing to come up to speed with Drupal Commerce, especially since the author stresses good planning and best practices in a way that makes them easy to understand.

Von Kapitel zu Kapitel vervollständigt sich ein kleiner Shop und der Workflow wird klar. Es kommen nach und nach immer mehr Module hinzu, die zb für Administration, Versand, Steuer, "Coupons" zuständig sind. Auf Abos und Datei-"Verkauf" wird nur hingewiesen - die im Buch angegebene Infoseite auf drupal.org ist aber ausreichend. Viel mehr enthalten die 150 Seiten nicht.Informationen für den deutschen Markt (was genau wo zu stehen hat) sind genauso wenig vorhanden, wie ein Blick auf die Datenstruktur "hinter den Kulissen". Oder eine Übersicht über spezielle Formatter, die zB in Views nutzbar sind. Ich hätte gern auch mehr Beispiele mit anderen Produkttypen gehabt.Commerce ist sehr komplex und das Buch hebt einen vom Unwissenden auf das Niveau eine Laien - dafür gibts 4 Sterne.

libro interessante di cookbook per drupal commerce, argomenti affrontati in maniera abbastanza esauriente, nulla di troppo tecnico, mancano alcune cose importanti come il sistema di invoice, ma tra i libri di Drupal Commerce il più interessante letto fino ad oggi.

I am working on a Drupal Commerce site. The instructions for installing were great. It told me to install Commerce Backoffice, which changes the terminology by their own admission. No other tutorial assumes you are using it, and therefore you can use nothing else except for the book. For someone that is familiar with Drupal, this is off-putting. I recommend perusing drupalcommerce.org and lynda.com instead.
