No templates. No page builders. At Arudhra IT Techs, we use Drupal Commerce to build 100% custom, scalable, and secure e-commerce solutions for businesses who want more than just “online shopping.” From product types to pricing rules, user roles to APIs — we build it all to match your unique business flow.

How We Build 100% Custom E-Commerce Solutions Using Drupal Commerce

Tired of bending your business to fit Shopify or WooCommerce limitations? We are too. That’s why we use Drupal Commerce to build fully custom e-commerce solutions that match your workflow — not force you to follow someone else’s. With Drupal 10, we create online stores that are scalable, secure, and completely personalized.

🚫 Why We Don’t Use Shopify or WooCommerce

Those platforms are great — until you hit a wall. Want multi-step vendor approvals? Multi-currency logic by user roles? Custom tax workflows? Now you’re fighting the system.

Our clients need:

  • 🔄 Fully dynamic product types
  • 📊 Role-based pricing & discounts
  • 🛒 Multi-cart logic (by user, project, vendor)
  • 📦 Integrations with ERPs, CRMs, or warehouses

That’s why we use Drupal Commerce — built on Drupal 10, and made for flexibility.

🧱 Our Custom E-Commerce Architecture (Drupal Commerce)

Here’s what we build under the hood of every custom Drupal Commerce project:

  • Product Entity Types: Not just one — we create structured product content types with dynamic attributes (color, size, SKU, etc.)
  • Product Variations: Linked variation types with custom logic
  • Cart Customization: Cart per project or customer group
  • Custom Checkout Flow: Multi-step, multi-role checkout based on business logic

🛍️ Unique Features We Build for Every Client

  • 🧮 Dynamic Pricing Rules: Based on role, region, quantity, and vendor logic
  • 📦 Warehouse-Based Shipping Logic: Auto-calculate delivery ETA based on customer address
  • 🧾 GST/VAT Integration: Based on country, state, or product type
  • 👥 Multi-Role Checkout: Vendors approve before purchase finalizes
  • 💳 Stripe / Razorpay / PayPal Integration: Fully tokenized, secure gateways

🔐 Role-Based Access & Admin Workflows

We don’t just build stores — we build admin systems. With Drupal’s powerful user role system, we create:

  • 🧑‍💼 Customer: Browse, add to cart, checkout
  • 🏪 Vendor: Upload products, manage inventory, view orders
  • 🛠️ Platform Admin: Approve listings, manage payments, see dashboards

Permissions are scoped to the tiniest detail. No one sees what they’re not supposed to.

📈 SEO Optimization: Built In, Not Bolted On

We build each product page with:

  • 📄 Clean, semantic URLs via Pathauto
  • 🔍 Metatag module for structured meta titles and OG tags
  • 🌐 Schema.org markup for products, reviews, and pricing
  • 🚀 Lightning-fast pages with AdvAgg and BigPipe

Our e-commerce stores are Google-ready from day one.

🔌 API-Ready for Mobile, CRM, ERP & More

Need to sync with a mobile app? Or push orders to a CRM? No problem. Every store we build has:

  • 📡 REST & JSON:API endpoints
  • 🔐 OAuth2 token-based authentication
  • 📥 Webhooks for real-time order sync
  • 📤 Laravel-based admin API if needed

📦 Real Use Case: B2B Industrial Marketplace

A global vendor needed a B2B e-commerce system where:

  • 🏭 Buyers request quotes before checkout
  • 🔐 Vendors approve/reject based on region or stock
  • 📊 Admins track all transactions across 100+ vendors

We built the entire thing in Drupal Commerce, with Laravel running the invoice and tax engine. Real-time sync. Zero limits.

⚙️ Tech Stack Overview

  • 🧱 Drupal 10 + Drupal Commerce
  • 🛒 Commerce Cart, Checkout, Product, Price, Promotion
  • 🔌 Custom modules for pricing logic and region checks
  • 📡 REST API layer for mobile/web integration
  • 🔐 Role/permission logic for vendors, staff, buyers
