We kick off the Commerce Basics series with a look at the LB Robotics store site that we will be building. Ryan gives a quick tour of the site and discusses the main topics we will be focusing on, like products, taxes, discounts, checkout, and general configuration of our store.

Drupal Commerce relies heavily on the Views and Rules modules for many of its features, which allow you a lot of customization. If you need a refresher on these two modules, you can watch these other Drupalize.Me series:

Now that we have created our products we'll dive into the Product display content type so that we can display our products to our users. In this instance we'll start out be re-using the nodes created by Commerce Kickstart, then we create two new displays for our remaining items. We finish up by rearranging the fields on the content type using Drupal 7's manage display configuration.

To get started with our new Drupal Commerce store, we are installing Drupal using the Commerce Kickstart installation profile. Commerce Kickstart provides you with Drupal core, along with a number of modules that all Commerce sites will need to get up and running. Using the installation profile makes your life a lot easier since you have everything you need in one package and the Drupal installer will make sure that you don't hit annoying PHP timeouts when trying to enable all those modules at the same time.
