Beginning Drupal 8

Chapter 22 ■ Building a Commerce Site
For purposes of the demonstration site, I’ll use the Example payment method that is enabled by default
with Kickstart. You can examine the configuration parameters by navigating to the “Payment methods”
administration page. To get there, hover over the “Store settings” link in the admin menu and click the
“Payment methods” link in the drop-down menu. On the “Editing reaction rule” page for “Example
Payment,” you’ll see that, like shipping, payments are governed by Events and Actions. You can review the
Events and Actions to see the general approach for applying payment methods.
With products available for purchase, shipping configured, taxes enabled, and payments configured,
it’s time to place an order. To select an item to place in your shopping cart, click one of the product types
listed in the menu near the top of the page, and from that list click the name of the product and select the
attributes, for example color and size, if applicable to that product, and how many you wish to add to your
cart. After adding the item to your cart, you should see a pop-up notification that the item was added to
your cart (refer to Figure 22-13). On the pop-up notification, click the “Go to checkout” button to begin the
checkout process (see Figure 22-22).
Figure 22-22. The Shopping Cart
If the items and quantities in the shopping cart look correct, then click the Checkout button to enter
the billing and shipping information. A shipping address and billing address are required for all orders (and
can be the same address). If you are a returning customer to the site and have logged in, Drupal Commerce
Addressbook module will prepopulate the values from any of the addresses that you have on file in the
address book that is created as part of the order processing workflow (see Figure 22-23).
