The Basics
Commerce Entities
Products
• Something you’re trying to sell
• A title and a price
• Create product references on nodes for end users
Orders
• Start out with a status of “cart”
• Once a product is placed in the cart, a new order is created
• Contains Line Items, payment transactions
• Contains customer information and order metadata
Line Items
• An instance of a product in an order (or cart)
• Able to contain personalized options for that instance of the product
Payment Transactions

Payment Gateways
Payment Gateways
