INTRODUCTION

Commerce Kickstart is the fastest way to start building on Drupal Commerce. It includes an installation profile for installing Drupal, Commerce Core, and the Centarro Commerce contributed modules and themes.

The installer includes an additional step where you can install either a full demo store for evaluation purposes or enable the individual features you need to start building and launch your store today!

• For a full description of the distribution, visit the project page: https://www.drupal.org/project/commerce_kickstart

REQUIREMENTS

Your development and hosting environments must be capable of running Drupal 11:

https://www.drupal.org/docs/system-requirements

We strongly recommend using DDEV-Local for local development and a Drupal optimized Platform-as-a-Service (e.g. Acquia, Pantheon, or Platform.sh) for hosting your site. Centarro offers consulting, development, and managed services if you need help deciding how to build, launch, or run your store.

Commerce Kickstart must be installed and updated via Composer to properly build the codebase and fetch new versions of Drupal and third-party dependencies.

RECOMMENDED MODULES

Commerce Kickstart includes all of the Centarro Commerce contributed modules. These are maintained by Centarro, the company behind Drupal Commerce, to conform to the same development and documentation standards as Commerce Core.

Additional Drupal modules and themes may be installed via Composer to add new features to your store. Search for modules compatible with Drupal 11 on drupal.org to see what's available, and filter your search results to those in the Commerce Core ecosystem to find modules that extend Drupal Commerce.

INSTALLATION

We recommend installing with our Composer project template, but you can also add Commerce Kickstart as a requirement to any Drupal project template. For full instructions, please refer to centarro/commerce-kickstart-project.

composer create-project centarro/commerce-kickstart-project kickstart

If creating a project of a pre-release or development version, use the -s flag to set the appropriate stability level:

composer create-project -s dev centarro/commerce-kickstart-project kickstart

If you expect to install the full demo store, you will need to add the Commerce Kickstart Demo recipe to your codebase. To do so, issue the two following commands:

cd kickstart
composer require drupal/commerce_kickstart_demo

We recommend and support DDEV-Local for local development. Change into the newly created directory and use the following commands to launch the site:

ddev config
ddev start

CONFIGURATION

Configuration occurs in the installer and then as needed throughout the Drupal administrative interface. This distribution includes the Commerce Store Wizard module and a go-live checklist provided by the Centarro Toolbox module to guide you through various aspects of Drupal Commerce configuration.

Commerce Kickstart includes the Config Splits module to support different configurations per environment. The default config directory created in the root project folder includes a splits subdirectory with a directory and config split specific to DDEV environments. After installing your site, if you are developing on DDEV, you can either import the DDEV specific configuration via the user interface at /admin/config/development/configuration/config-split or import via drush:

ddev drush config-split:import ddev
