Configuring the Cloud: Selling highly configurable Drupal Commerce products on SavvisDirect.com

Drupal Commerce is a powerful platform for building e-commerce solutions. Learn how we extended Drupal Commerce to help SavvisDirect deliver highly configurable Cloud services directly to consumers.

Our initial challenge was to use Drupal Commerce as a marketplace in a larger e-commerce system that used an external application to supply the product catalogue and to provision purchased services. We needed to identify a method of allowing customers to easily configure their products before purchase, where a single product may have hundreds of variants. With many initial products, and a goal of being able to quickly bring a new product to market, we chose a solution that would allow product configuration forms to be automatically rendered from the imported catalog.

Join us as we share the techniques we used to:

- import product configuration templates
- build auto-generating configuration forms
- ensure a rich user experience
- build and submit line items to a provisioning system

I look forward to seeing how you built this!

This sounds very interesting and +10 for our local Drupal friends too.
