Working with Craft Commerce

1. Working with Craft Commerce @madebyshape @madebymayo
4. Small / Medium Start Ups Protein Powder, Craft Beer, Decorating, Womens Fashion, Fitnesss Wear, Preserves & Jams, Health, Mens Fashion, Toxic Free Cosmetics
6. Challenge... Convincing clients to use a not so well known and a relatively new eCommerce platform
7. Demos Feature List Bene ts
8. We can extend and plug easily (More on this later...)
9. But, as developers we liked...
10. Gateway settings in con g (+Others)
11. Single checkout <form> and custom data Add to cart, update cart, update delivery & billing etc
12. Highly custom delivery options Although confusing at first (But clients love this customisability)
13. Inactive / Active Carts
14. Custom Order Statuses & Emails
15. Addresses get created and linked to users (Email address) on checkout (And the same address fields for account, billing & delivery!)
16. “It’s better than CartThrob” Adam Ascroft, 2017
17. A few problems a long the way...
18. Lack of 3rd Party Integration (At the moment...) Most enquiries ask for integration with full lment applications, or delivery applications. Currently none exist, or are beta.
19. Promotions can’t be PER variant Making discounts on a black pair of jeans di cult
20. Can’t reorder products It would be good if products acted like structure entries
21. Lack of refund features Always been missing (Unless using Shopify or Magento)
22. Discounts & Sales are limited There aren’t many coupon options e.g. Buy X get X
23. Extend, Extend, Extend...

32. Bene ts - Development time reduced - Bug and UX xes are xed across all projects - Commerce CMS feels the ‘same’ between projects - Continuously improve for ALL clients (If paying support)
33. Downsides - Limited to basket / checkout features - Design is limited - Updating elds etc between ‘Bug Fixes’ can be messy - A lot of ‘Up front’ development

36. Challenges - Mixed Cases / Singular / Packs - Stock Control - Age Veri cation - MailChimp Integration - Filter - Discounts - Can Club / Membership
