print shop framework

[Bobby Roberts]

hi all... a possible client of mine is looking for an online custom print shop like 4over4.com.  Are there any open source frameworks like this out there?  I'd prefer a django app but will consider other languages.

It's just an online shop right?

There are plenty of FLOSS frameworks and apps already written for online shops. http://www.satchmoproject.com/ or  https://www.django-shop.org/ecosystem/ for instance.

The hard work isn't in the construction of the site logic, it's the data entry (all the items, all the combinations and discounnts etc) and design.

By the same token, the Wordpress plugin http://getshopped.org/ is quite good and I'm sure all frameworks have something available. 

Cheers

well i'm look for something like 4over4.com where you can design your own stuff to print then submit it for printing... ie a print shop, not just an ecommerce storefront.

Ok, I didn't quite pick up on that subtlety - but the concept is still the same. It would suggest that Django (or a framework) is more suitable than the wordpress option. 

Having said that, it would essentially be ecommerce - but each item purchased would also have a couple of additional fields - the relevant design files and maybe some numbers, depending on whether the entire order should have one design or not. IE the diff between 100 mugs having 1 design, or 100 mugs, 20 with design A, 50 with design B, 30 with design C.  

How to do it depends on exact needs, but I would extend something already developed.
