The times they are a-changin'

Standard one-vendor ecommerce solution as we know (and still love) become more and more passé. More and more often multiseller marketplace ecommerce implementations are the new black.

Think Amazon. Think eBay. Think Etsy.

Even though standard Drupal Commerce or Commerce Kickstart installations do not support such functionality out of the box, with recent contrib modules it's never been easier to implement a multiseller marketplace on top of Drupal Commerce.

This session will present you the Commerce Marketplace module suite, which I have been working on together with Farhad Hedayati Fard. We'll focus on the following points:

• What are all the steps required to set up a fully fledged marketplace solution?
• What are possible approaches to configuring everything both from the marketplace owner's as well as vendor's perspective?
• What types of payment flows are possible and what are their benefits and disadvantages?
• How does this module work with other commerce-related contrib modules?
• How can you extend its functionality and adapt it to your specific requirements?

A working knowledge of Drupal Commerce is suggested, but not required.
