I'm currently trying to install my first Vendr shop (yay!), but I'm having issues with just setting up the shop in Umbraco.
I've done the settings part and the ecommerce part, but it seems that I am missing the documenttypes/templates to actually create the content part. Anyone got a solution? Did I skip a step or something?
I am using Umbraco 9.2, and have installed Vendr 2.0.6 package. I've also installed the Vendr.PaymentProviders.Mollie 2.0.1 package.
You haven't missed a step no. Vendr isn't really a drop in solution in that sense, rather it's built around Umbraco and how that works, so it's really up to you to create the content / product pages as needed by your customer / requirements.
The thing with Umbraco and thus Vendr is that it's all bespoke, so you define the doc types as per your design rather than us saying "this is how e-commerce works, make your requirements fit it".
If you'd like to just see an example implementation you can take a look at https://try.vendr.net (go to /umbraco to login and see the back end) and if you want something to use as a starting point, the code for this demo is all open source at https://github.com/vendrhub/vendr-demo-store.
NB Because Vendr supports v8 and v9 the code has been put into branches so the root of the demo store repo is empty and you'll need to checkout the branch relevant to the Umbraco version / .NET version you wish to use.
I will be creating my own doctypes! Wil probably create a default set for myself to import in new projects, but I understand the reasoning behind it why you didn't add the document types in!
Documenttypes missing
Hi,
I'm currently trying to install my first Vendr shop (yay!), but I'm having issues with just setting up the shop in Umbraco.
I've done the settings part and the ecommerce part, but it seems that I am missing the documenttypes/templates to actually create the content part. Anyone got a solution? Did I skip a step or something?

Thanks!
Hi Puck,
You haven't missed a step no. Vendr isn't really a drop in solution in that sense, rather it's built around Umbraco and how that works, so it's really up to you to create the content / product pages as needed by your customer / requirements.
The thing with Umbraco and thus Vendr is that it's all bespoke, so you define the doc types as per your design rather than us saying "this is how e-commerce works, make your requirements fit it".
When you define a product node, Vendr just requires a few key properties from which it can then determine things it needs to know. Take a look here for a list of those properties https://vendr.net/docs/core/2.0.0/umbraco-v9/key-concepts/umbraco-properties/
If you'd like to just see an example implementation you can take a look at https://try.vendr.net (go to /umbraco to login and see the back end) and if you want something to use as a starting point, the code for this demo is all open source at https://github.com/vendrhub/vendr-demo-store.

Hope this helps

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the quick response :)

Cool. Yea, in that case taking a look at the demo and the list of properties should give you a good idea of what is needed.
Hope this gives you enough to get up and running 👍
