Hi,
I don’t need full ecommerce features: payment processors, etc. but I need my customers can make orders from my stock (stock is important for me). Is it possible in an “easy way” with Dolibarr. I mean, in a not very complex interface? Just a simple catalog of products…
Not out of the box. I sort of do it for our dance community, but I’ve made a python flask container that runs the form system that takes the dance class registration and feeds it into dolibarr using the API.
I heard about other shop integrations, possibly prestashop? but I have not used it. Are there any modules in the dolistore?
Another option could be to look at N8N or Zapier, maybe that can be used?
I think build a Prestashop would be adding too much complexity to my system (another software to host and maintain).
I’m going to test TakePOS core module, but it’s not a natural approach and I doubt it adjust to my user case.
Maybe other catalog like modules in the Dolistore could be useful. I should check some of them but in a fast checking I see some of them are not for the last stable Dolibarr version.
Your approach, an external script to get the data and fill up Dolibarr could be interesting if I can add it the stock limits. In fact, maybe is not a very difficult to create an extension to do it, but my project is a personal project and I have not resources (money/time) to do it (I mean, a customer to pay for it). If some users/companies would fund it, I could develope it! I think it could be an starting point to build the commerce feature, starting for the simple scenario: let customers make orders. And then, once the order arribe, manage the payment/delivery stuff for yourself.
