xTupleCommerce (xTC) is xTuple's Customer Sales & Service Web Portal. It can be an eCommerce store, a private resource center, a catalog of products, a marketing website, a blog, a forum, an information center, a sales order entry system, a partner community, and any combination thereof. There are as many online ways to engage and communicate with your customers, prospects, trading partners — and even your own team — as you can imagine. Think of it as your customer-facing ERP.
This guide contains instructions for setting up a new xTC instance. Additional information related to setting up xTupleCommerce can be found in the xTupleCommerce Product Guide and the xTuple Implementation Guide.
There are two basic types of xTC installations:
Commercial installations are for commercial customers of xTuple. For each new commercial xTC installation, we will create a new GitHub repository, referred to as a "project", to store a copy of the code for the customer's site. Commercial installations are in turn divided into two subtypes: “flywheel” projects and heavily customized sites. This document does not include details on the latter.
Demo installations are disposable, such as for demos, development, and testing. This type of installation will not create a new GitHub repository, but will use an existing repository called "flywheel".
