Frequently asked questions about Simple Commerce
- What is Simple Commerce for Statamic?
- Simple Commerce is a flexible, Laravel-based e-commerce addon for Statamic. It lets you manage products, carts, orders, and payments from your content files, with support for multiple gateways and easy customization.
- How do I install Simple Commerce in a Laravel or Statamic project?
- Install the package with Composer using doublethreedigital/simple-commerce in a Laravel application that already has Statamic set up. Publish any required configuration and configure your payment gateways according to the package documentation. Because it is a Laravel package, it integrates through standard service provider and config publishing conventions.
- Which Laravel versions does Simple Commerce support?
- Simple Commerce is a Laravel/PHP package, so its supported Laravel and PHP versions are defined by the Composer constraints in the package. Check the composer.json for the exact version matrix before upgrading a production application. The 7.8.10 release is a patch update and is expected to remain backward compatible within the 7.8 line.
- How does Simple Commerce store products, carts, and orders?
- Simple Commerce manages products, carts, orders, and payments from content files in Statamic. This keeps catalog and order data content-driven and easy to customize within a Statamic project. It fits teams that want e-commerce behavior without moving product management into a separate platform.
- Can Simple Commerce use multiple payment gateways?
- Yes, Simple Commerce supports multiple payment gateways and is designed for easy customization. You can configure gateways for different checkout flows or business needs. Review the package documentation for gateway-specific setup and testing requirements.
- Is Simple Commerce suitable for production e-commerce sites?
- Simple Commerce is suitable for Statamic and Laravel projects that need flexible, content-driven commerce. Production readiness depends on your gateway configuration, checkout testing, tax and shipping requirements, and operational monitoring. The 7.8.10 patch is low risk structurally, but its hardened email validation should be tested against real user data.
- What changed in Simple Commerce 7.8.10 and should I upgrade?
- Version 7.8.10 is a patch release that hardens email address validation in PR #1287. It should be a drop-in dependency bump with no config migration or schema change. Upgrade after reviewing the PR and testing email capture flows, especially signup, checkout, and password reset paths.
- How do I test the hardened email validation before deploying Simple Commerce 7.8.10?
- Run your existing test suite against a branch with the bumped package and clear compiled config and caches. Replay a sample of production email addresses, including recently registered and recently failed addresses, through the new rule in a sandbox. Deploy to staging first and monitor registration failure rates and auth-related support contacts after production rollout.
- What are alternatives to Simple Commerce for Laravel and Statamic?
- Alternatives include standalone Laravel e-commerce packages, hosted commerce platforms, and other Statamic commerce addons. The right choice depends on how much you want product and order data managed inside Statamic content files. Simple Commerce is strongest when you want a Laravel-based addon with flexible customization and multiple gateway support.
- How is Simple Commerce maintained and what support is available?
- Simple Commerce is actively maintained, and the 7.8.10 patch includes a linked PR and attributed author, which is a positive maintenance signal. Ongoing operational cost is low because the update is a routine Composer dependency bump with no new configuration surface. The main support scenario is a small tail of users whose email addresses now fail stricter validation, so audit local overrides and monitor auth contacts.
