django-oscar 0.7

A domain-driven e-commerce framework for Django

Domain-driven e-commerce for Django

Oscar is an e-commerce framework for Django designed for building domain-driven sites. It is structured such that any part of the core functionality can be customised to suit the needs of your project. This allows a wide range of e-commerce requirements to be handled, from large-scale B2C sites to complex B2B sites rich in domain-specific business logic.

These are screenshots from the ‘sandbox’ example site that ships with Oscar. It sports a simple design built with Twitter’s Bootstrap and provides a good starting point for rapidly building elegant e-commerce sites.

The sandbox site is also available to browse at http://latest.oscarcommerce.com. Dashboard users can be created using this gateway page.

The sandbox site can be set-up locally in 5 commands. Want to make changes? Check out the contributing guidelines.
