our call
Start with Drupal Commerce — highest vibe code, weakest moat.
Drupal Commerce
Rebuilding the commerce half is realistic. Rebuilding Drupal's content modelling, workflow and permissions is a different project entirely.
you can rebuild
- Product and variation entities with attributes
- Cart, checkout panes and order workflow
- Promotions, coupons and tax rate configuration
- Payment gateway integrations via a plugin interface
what you lose
- Drupal's editorial workflow, revisions and granular permission system
- Multilingual content management with translation workflow
- The contributed module ecosystem across content, SEO and integrations
- Accessibility and public-sector compliance defaults
real moats
- The Drupal content platform underneath, not the commerce layer itself
- Public-sector and enterprise procurement familiarity
- Contributed module ecosystem
