Hi Rene

We have it on our plans but not in the next couple of months because of the holiday :)

Hi Anders

Great.

A suggestion witch you may have considered.

When making it, do a plain straight shop without too much styling, css and othere fancy stuff. Just the raw of TeaCommerce and Umbraco power

Suggestion to implement

• Login
• Customer
• Customer order
• Customer address/update costumer information 
• Drop the less files, just the raw css.

I would consider not to make it "too smart", only show the great TeaCommerce funtionality.

Tanks for a great eCommerce for Umbraco

Hi Rene

Thanks for the suggestions. The hard part about the starter kit is that it is the one that we use at Tea Solutions that we share. And we use less files, have a standard bootstrap styling etc. How could we have both a solution that fit the masses and fit our needs? :)

HI Anders

I think it would be to your benefit too, to make it simple, it would be a lot easier to get hand on it, and from there develop the fancy stuff.

At my point of view the demo is for education and understanding. It seldom or never that it suits the exactly needs, so the main purpose is to give a clear simple understanding of the function, and from there do the development and styling.

Maybee im wrong - i truly think it is a great way to do eCommerce and umbraco

Hi, I'm wondering when a starter kit for Umbraco 7 will be available too. I would like to use tea commerce on a current project but if it's not due for a few months I will stuggle. Are there any example codes you could share in the meantime?

Many Thanks,

Will

HI 

I went back to version 6. There are some signiificant differences in how to get the product and how it all works. At least from my point of view.

Here is a great video vith expirences from building Umbraco 7

Hi William

Tea Commerce for v6 and v7 has the same API so things should be pretty easy to use from the starter kit. Just note that you properly want to do MVC where the starter kit is ASP.NET forms.

Kind regards
Anders

Anders, Thanks for your reply.

By MVC do you mean using Surface Controllers etc? If so, do you have any examples of a cart using them? I'm new to umbraco (but not MVC) and have not had much success finding example code.

Regarding ASP.NET forms, is it possible to still use them in Tea for v7? Due to internal business restaints(?!) it might turn out that I need to use Webforms :(

Many thanks,

Will

I think you can still use ASP.NET forms in Umbraco 7. Its a setting in the umbraco.settings.config file.

When I say MVC I just mean MVC views for the templates. Just still use normal html forms as the Tea Commerce HTML api states-

Kind regards
Anders

Hello 

In a previous post in this thread, I wrote that I had gone back to version 6 

For the record, this has nothing to do with TeaCommerce. 

I've got it working and it is in Umbraco 7, there are several things I do not want to miss of the greatness of Umbraco 7, so I got it made ​​in Umbraco 7 anyway.

Tanks to Umbraco and TeaCommerce

Agreed, I think the current Starter Kit, is overly verbose for most situations, and integrates too tightly into how "Tea" construct their own ecommerce stores in general, rather than showcasing it's sheer simplicity.

The great thing about Tea Commerce for me, is it's ease to slip into a current Umbraco site, without having to do too much work. Especially if you have a site that just sells a few "standard (non variant) products/services".

A typical scenerio for me, is that a client commission a small brochure site, "Home, About, Services - > Service Item, Blog, Contact".  The client then decides they want to sell the "service items" online.  

- Simply add an "Add to basket" button on a existing product/service page (I typically use the HTML api)
- Add on a few templates to handle the checkout part  (Pre-built templates)
- Job done!

I've bootstrapped a simple Tea Commerce site (using v7), and will be making it available shortly.

Sounds great Paul!! If you make it a Git repo people can help improve it and build new things to the starter kit

Hi Guys, this is exactly what I need - A simple starter kit for Umbraco 7. I need to create a simple store in v7 in quite a short amount of time but it's taking me quite a time to figure out which few bits from the starter kit are good for me to use.

Many thanks,

Adrian.

I'd love a V7 starter kit too. I did the Tea Commerce course but it was 18 months ago and there were no useful notes given out as you might expect. A simple V7 starter kit would be very helpful. Not everyone is a C# expert and can make the transition from V6 to V7 syntax so easy;)
