Question 1

How do I add a custom discount modifier in Salesman?

Accepted Answer

Create a custom modifier by subclassing the base modifier class and implementing logic for discounts, then register it in Django settings. This allows dynamic pricing rules based on your e-commerce needs.

Question 2

Salesman vs Django Oscar – which is better for my project?

Accepted Answer

Salesman is ideal for headless, API-first e-commerce with Wagtail integration, while Oscar offers a more traditional monolithic approach with built-in frontend. Choose Salesman for flexibility and modern frontends; Oscar for faster setup with pre-built admin interfaces.

Question 3

Can I use Salesman without Wagtail?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Salesman works with just Django admin; Wagtail integration is optional but useful for content-heavy stores. The framework is designed to be configurable for both scenarios.

Question 4

Does Salesman support subscription-based products?

Accepted Answer

It can be extended to handle subscriptions via custom product types and payment methods, but it doesn't include built-in support for recurring billing, requiring additional development.

Question 5

What payment gateways are supported out of the box?

Accepted Answer

Salesman doesn't include any pre-built payment gateways; it provides an interface for developers to integrate any gateway like Stripe or PayPal by implementing the payment method class themselves.

Question 6

How to handle shipping calculations with Salesman?

Accepted Answer

Implement shipping using the modifier system to add costs based on logic like weight or location. You'll need to develop or integrate a shipping service, as it's not included by default.
