I have firsthand experience implementing satchmo for a very large
storefront, and I can heartily recommend it. People who recommend
writing your own ecommerce platform have an overly romanticized
perspective. In my opinion ecommerce is not where you want to make
your own mistakes and go by trial and error. Better to benefit from
the experience, mistakes, and corrections of others when it comes to
ecommerce. Leave the wheel reinventing for your blog. :)
Another advantage of satchmo (and please forgive the self-promotion)
is that you can purchase a companion mobile application that extends
your website to iphones, ipads, android devices, and the like via apps
native to each platform. Preliminary information is at

Hi,
I would not recommend the Satchmo although it is a great project and you
can learn a lot from it. Reasons:
1.) very very very bad documentation, you have to search a lot in the
Satchmo code (good for somebody who wants to learn :). And for some
features you don't even know how to use them.
2.) heavyweight - for a page to loat you need 200-300 SQL queries
3.) Django admin interface is not suited for such application
Reagards,
Martin
