This is the presentation that accompanied LSU_JBOB's presentation at NYCCamp 2013 regarding Drupal Commerce. The session was designed for those who want to understand the broad concepts and processes that power Drupal Commerce. Foundational topics included commerce entities, the checkout process and payment gateways. In addition, brief explanations on inventory and shipping management, as well as accepting different forms of payment were discussed. The second half of the session showcased two real world examples of companies using Drupal Commerce: The Diamond Reserve Steak Company that sells Texas beef using Drupal & The Robin Hood Foundation that uses Drupal Commerce to fight poverty in NYC.

5. Commerce Entities

6. Products
• Something you’re trying to sell
