Drupal Commerce (https://www.drupal.org/project/commerce) is a super powerful platform for creating very flexible e-commerce solutions! If it needs to take "payment" (in money or really anything, even virtual currencies), you can probably build it with Drupal Commerce. :-)



One of the best things about Drupal Commerce, is that it gets all its flexibility by being as Drupal-y as possible. Everything is Entities with Fields, listings are exposed with Views and all the logic is implemented in Rules. Essentially, it makes the lego's and it's up to you to assemble them into a coherent "store".



Obviously, this can be a little overwhelming for new users!



That's why there is also Commerce Kickstart (https://www.drupal.org/project/commerce_kickstart): a Drupal distribution that assembles Drupal Commerce into an e-commerce store that ships physical products.



This is super cool because you can see the lego's assembled into a fully built out structure! It's a great example for how you could use Drupal Commerce.



But how do you go from seeing Commerce Kickstart, to really understanding how Drupal Commerce works?



You come to this presentation that's how!



In this presentation, Matt Glaman (http://glamanate.com/), will deconstruct Commerce Kickstart into it's component pieces and dig into the architecture of Drupal Commerce. If you've got an e-commerce site built on Drupal, don't miss this one! :-)



Virtual participation over Google Hangouts



If you want to participate in the meetup but can't make it down physically, no worries - you can participate over Google Hangouts!



We'll be starting the feed at 6:30pm - you can either use Google Hangouts to participate fully, ie. you can ask questions with your voice and interact , or watch passively on YouTube (links will be posted in the comments below at 6pm).



The best food at a Meetup!



As always, Steve Klebar will bring some amazing home cookin'! We might not be the biggest Meetup, but we have the best food!



Bring your problems & successes:



Are you working on a Drupal site and hit a problem? Bring it to the meetup and we'll try to help you solve it!
