A Vision for SilverStripe Shop
We can’t compete with Magento, Shopify, Sylius, or Spree for breadth of features - so what is success?

A Vision for SilverStripe Shop
Our sweet spot is:
• SS developers who need to add simple commerce to an existing site.
• SS developers who need to build a larger site using their existing skills for bespoke features.

A Vision for SilverStripe Shop
We need to focus on:
• Stability and quality• Easy install and “just works” with a nice default configuration
• Integration with API’s and external services where possible

How could we move forward together?
• Would there be other companies that might commit a few hours of time per month?
• Would anyone be interested in tackling branding and themes?
• Establish a core team
• Is there any way to merge some of these or make them more interoperable?
