Building an E-commerce Website With ExpressionEngine

By: Paul Larson

This is a five-part series on how to build an ecommerce website in ExpressionEngine from scratch using the CartThrob add-on.

This walkthrough is in 5 parts, covering the following:

• Part 1: Setting the stage: product field creation
• Part 2: Channel installation and Discounts
• Part 3: Shipping / Tax / Payments
• Part 4: Notifications and Order management
• Part 5: Template setup and tag overview
  
  I’m joined on video by Greg Crane, a developer at Creative Arc, for each key segment of the walkthrough. Greg created all the templates, too, which are available for download.
