Satchmo configuration

Following on from Installing Satchmo, this is a brief note on Satchmo configuration.

Much (perhaps all) of the SatchmoConfiguration page on the documentation wiki seems to be obsolete, and many sections are marked, "ignore the part below about …". Although aimed at Satchmo developers rather than users, the page How to use the configuration system seems more current and is worth a look.

For Satchmo users (i.e., people using Satchmo to build an ecommerce app) the central point is that "settings are then managed by admins at the site settings management page, located at SHOP_URL/settings/". So, if the site is at http://localhost:8000/shop, there are actually two addresses for this config page:

Here we can make various settings to do with payment, shipping, tax, etc.

My next step now is to put together a set of requirements for the ecommerce app I need (i.e., for Llaisdy), and then to build a prototype of that. I’ll run it on a local test server first, then upload it to somewhere like http://www.llaisdy.com/shop.

    Hello, I found your previous Satchmo blog post to be useful… Any updates on how your Satchmo store is doing?

    Thanks for your comment.

    I’ve put aside Satchmo for now, and I’m writing some of my own code to handle the store. I’ve definitely been bitten by Django, though, and I expect I’ll be moving the whole of Llaisdy over to Django over the next year or so.
