Looking for CommerceKickstart.com? See below to read more about its decommissioning.

We're evaluating other options in the meantime.

Commerce Kickstart is the quickest way to get up and running with Drupal Commerce. It's a great resource for anyone looking to get straight to development or customize a pre-configured template to launch their own online store.

Commerce Kickstart comes in two primary flavors:

Commerce Kickstart 1.x for Drupal 7: Includes the latest versions of Drupal, Commerce 1.x, and the modules it needs to run. Features an optional set of minimal configuration items and development modules you can use to quickly test new patches.

Commerce Kickstart 2.x for Drupal 7: Includes everything from Kickstart 1.x with a larger set of options to create a fully-featured demo store complete with an attractive theme, catalog and search configuration, promotions engine, and a custom back office interface. Try the demo!

What about CommerceKickstart.com and Drupal 8?

For a while we maintained CommerceKickstart.com as a browser based tool you could use to build the Composer file for a Drupal Commerce 2.x project. It proved more difficult to maintain than we expected, so we've taken it offline for now.

To evaluate Drupal Commerce or launch a project quickly on Drupal 8, we strongly recommend using our Drupal Commerce Demo (or the non-demo project base) as a starting point.

Commerce Kickstart is maintained by Centarro (formerly known as Commerce Guys). We launched Centarro Support to help site builders and developers get up and running with Drupal Commerce. Our next product release will be a fully managed based headless commerce server based on the Centarro Commerce distribution to be released summer 2020.

Getting started with Commerce Kickstart 2.x

Commerce Kickstart 2.x focused on improving the out-of-the-box experience for new Drupal Commerce users. It serves as a great demo, though we don't necessarily recommend using the demo store as a starting point for new sites. If you opt for that approach, please be aware that you'll need to edit default content and configuration provided by the demo store.

Every module included in Commerce Kickstart 2.x exists on drupal.org as a standalone project. Developers most commonly use it as a learning tool and then download, install, and configure the source modules themselves into their built-from-scratch Drupal Commerce sites.

Please review the installation and upgrading guide before creating a new Commerce Kickstart 2.x site or updating an existing one. Our official support forum is Drupal Answers; please use the drupal-commerce tag to notify everyone watching the tag to help support Commerce users.

Develop with Commerce Kickstart 2.x on Platform.sh

If you don't have a host to test with in a web accessible environment, Platform.sh provides a quick, optimized path for deploying Commerce Kickstart 2.x based websites. It does require learning a Git / drush driven workflow, but all projects get free SSL support, multiple development environments, and optimized web server configuration with development costs starting as low as $10 / month.
