Drupal Commerce

I'm working on a new site that is selling complex products. There needs to be at least two levels of decision making that effect the product configuration and the final price. I have experience running a general CMS with Drupal but haven't worked with UberCart or e-Commerce modules to know what would be best for this kind of product 'configurator'. Any advice in what module to use and how to build a product configurator would be GREATLY appreciated and would surely benefit the whole community!

Thanks in advance,
Scott

This isn't necessarily a Drupal-centric question, but this is the only online community I am part of...

So, I have a client who wants to sell t-shirts and sports apparel on his website. To clarify, it has his company logo on it, so it's likely from a local screen print type shop. He's a 2 employee company, and I don't want supporting this to become a headache for me. I'd like to implement the solution and be hands off.

So, any recommendations?

I'm creating an e-commerce site that will have a lot of stores, each one with his own reserved space and sales, as many other stores made with Drupal on the web, but with one difference: i want to put a POS machine on each physical store, consulting the Drupal site for sales.

Basically, the workflow is:

• People navigate through stores on the site and decide to buy
• People pay with credit card or whatever they choose
• Each store has a POS machine
• Every POS continuously asks the site for sales
• When a sale is made, the POS prints the invoice and the shop make the delivery

Could someone recommend the right ecommerce platform for me?

Ive started using Ubercart but ive hit some limitations that I can only get around with advanced theming, which is a bit beyond me.

It seems on a product kit page you cant show the different fields for products within it. Also im struggling to get my price quantity discounts to display in the shopping cart block.

Drupal E-commerce seems more 'powerful' but i dont know how stable the release is yet.

I know Magento is quite popular but I dont know how good it is or its Drupal integration.

Thanks

Overview: Drupal Commerce is a fresh implementation of the Ubercart feature set on Drupal 7 using fieldable entities to the max and depending on Views and Rules. What a product is has been separated from how a product is displayed (see this thread for more details), and the attributes system has been completely redone to work through fields on product types and enforce unique SKUs for every variation of a product. While greatly improving the underlying data model, this adds to the complexity of listing products for sale, especially when closely related products need to be sold through the same display (i.e. multiple sizes of a particular t-shirt style). This project will take advantage of the field settings for fields on product types and Token patterns to create bulk product generation forms and enhancements to the Product Reference field and its Add to Cart form display formatters to present these products for sale.

Has anyone implemented a batch CREDIT post to authoirze.net which is initiated in the admin area. We are looking to create a process for refunding a product (a show in this custoemr's case) for all the customers who have purchsed it, in the case that the show cancels. The trick is that the customer will want to keep the transaction fee, so we want to be able to refund for tickets only.

We will be writing this - it may end up just creating a report and then it would be run by a batch job. If anyone has done something like this - please point it out, it would be helpful.

thanks

I'm working on a small site for a newspaper were users can purchase gift certificates from local businesses for the holidays. Local businesses don't have a way to sell their certificates online and this will give them that ability. Local businesses will be adding the certificate nodes to this site or the admin will add them and set the author to that business.

Is there a way to have the author receive an email containing the user's (purchaser's) contact info and the product they purchased from that author.

The example would be:

Hey, everyone!

I am creating a store where the purchaser creates the product, and then the price is determined by what "features" the user selects.

Here's the reasoning:
