Which django based CMS is good for ecommerce sites

Question

I have using joomla for long time and mainly deal with ecommerce sites with shopping cart . Now i am learning python django and realy like the python. But i am used to joomla easiness to use its extensions for everything.

One questions is coming to my mind that am i doing right thing to shift from joomla to python. It seems to me that i am looking for something good when i already have it.But there are many thing which i can't do in joomla like syadmin and data mining.

I am learning django but i think it will be time consuming to build from scratch with django

I want CMS in Django in which i can use ready made

1. Users Logins , registration members Area
2. SHopping cart , Add/remove products and payment via paypal
3. Gallery for photos
4. Users can create static pages like privacy , disclaimer
5. Also in case i need to create custom thing i can write custom code as well

Is there something like that?

Answer 1

You will hardly a find a single package that does all the things you need.

Django's nature as a framework gives you more flexibility and makes customizations really easy but on the flipside you'll have to do some work to integrate various components and apps.

Looking at the relevant grid on Django Packages there are several CMS out there. Popular choices are Django CMS, FeinCMS and Mezzanine to name a few.

Here you can read a comparison, though in the end you should check them yourself. Looking at the extensions for Django CMS you'll find a gallery plugin and the docs show you how assign user permissions to pages.

Looking at your requirements the other core component seems to be an E-Commerce solution.

Again Django Packages offers a few options, e.g. LFS and Satchmo.

No one.

Sorry but CMS are not meant to manage a ecommerce. They are existing to create content and manage it.

The good question should be: What are django add-ons to create a ecommerce website ?
