Web shop solution

[thamas]

We are planning a new project where Backdrop seems to be a good fit. Expect one thing: later (not in the current project) the client plans to add web shop functionality to the site.

I found just simple cart module for Backdrop which may not be the ideal solution.

Do you have any other information, suggestion? Is there any plan to an ecommerce solution for Backdrop? Or any supported e-commerce service (which is available in Hungary)?

Hi Tamás, Thank you for your interest in Backdrop! We are currently working very hard on version 1.4 due in 10-12 days, plus existing work on Drupal support. Also, Drupalcon is coming up very soon for some people in Backdrop. Currently, there are:

https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/simple_paypal_donate https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/basic_cart

After features are in for version 1.4, expect https://github.com/biolithic/basic_cart_plus to have time to be worked on and a demo put up. It is built on Paypal, Braintree and Stripe. You must look at whether any of those services are supported in your country. You are welcomed to hire me to complete/configure a version to your needs after this week. It may be too simple for you at the moment.

There is always Commerce Kickstart for D7 but it may be too heavy for you.

There also exists https://github.com/codewombat/backshop/issues/1 but development is stalled on that and I don't know anything about it. You may finish it (?) or hire Commerce Guys to finish it.

That is what I know as only a Backdrop community member.

In addition to the Backdrop solutions @biolithic listed so far, I'd personally encourage you to avoid self-hosting any kind of ecommerce, especially handling any credit card data yourself. I've had good past experiences with Shopify, which seems to operate in Hungary: https://www.shopify.com/payment-gateways/hungary

I plan on eventually porting my Recurly module to Backdrop eventually, but that's really best for recurring payments rather than a store.

Thank you all for the comments! I'll check your suggestions!

@biolithic I've used Basic cart with Drupal 7 earlier, but it made headaches for me because it is based on features and which made it's customization harder for us.

@quicksketch Handling credit card data is not in the list of the goals but to be able to shell "things" is. And I think the best solution (best UX) is when the webshop and the cms are not two different system. That's why we used Commerce with Drupal 7 in in earlier projects.

I wonder: how is this question? I'm building a simple shop and planning to use this payment gateway (https://github.com/CommerceRedsys/sermepa) to create a module for backdrop (I already wrote a payment gateway for drupal 6, years ago). Have things moved since May 2016??. It seems the best bet would be to use basic cart to implement the gateway.

I ported Payment module a while back. Haven't released yet as I was hoping for some feedback. https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/payment Thinking though should probably release as alpha if I want feedback.

Seems there are quite a few options for Backdrop now, including Ubercart. So will close this question as 'answered'.
