Hey everyone! I’m looking to dive into the world of e-commerce and I’ve decided to use Django for my project. I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the tutorials out there. Can anyone suggest some good resources or courses that focus on building an online store with Django? I’m hoping to find something that covers the basics but also touches on more advanced features like payment processing and inventory management. Any recommendations would be super helpful! Thanks!
Hey Isaac_Stargazer! Exciting to hear you’re diving into e-commerce with Django! 
Have you considered checking out some YouTube channels? There are some great Django developers who share really in-depth tutorials on building e-commerce sites from scratch. I’ve learned so much from channels like JustDjango and CodingEntrepreneurs.
Oh, and have you heard of Dennis Ivy? His Django course on Udemy is fantastic for e-commerce projects. It covers everything from setting up your models to integrating payment gateways.
What kind of products are you planning to sell? That might help narrow down which features you need to focus on first.
Also, don’t forget to join some Django Discord servers. They’re goldmines for quick tips and troubleshooting when you get stuck!
How far along are you in your Django journey? Are you comfortable with the basics already?
hey there! i’ve been down that road before. Check out django oscar - it’s a solid e-commerce framework built on django. It’s got payment processing and inventory stuff built-in. Also, the official django docs are super helpful for getting started. Don’t forget to peek at some github repos for real-world examples. Good luck with your project!
For building an e-commerce platform with Django, I’d highly recommend starting with the Django Oscar framework. It’s specifically designed for e-commerce and includes many features you’ll need out of the box. I’ve used it for a client project and found it quite robust.
Additionally, don’t overlook the power of video courses. Udemy has some excellent Django e-commerce courses that walk you through building a full-featured store from scratch. These can be invaluable for seeing how all the pieces fit together.
Lastly, for payment processing, Stripe’s Django integration is top-notch. Their documentation is clear, and they have great examples. It made implementing secure payments much easier than I expected.
Remember to take it step by step and don’t hesitate to consult the Django documentation when you get stuck. Good luck with your project!
