For Oscar Commerce alternatives, a storefront demo should be evaluated with the existing application architecture in mind.
- Map catalog, basket, checkout, promotions, and fulfillment customizations.
- Import products with variants and prices into a test environment.
- Place, cancel, and refund orders; reconcile stock and payment events.
- Check how the candidate integrates with Django or your current backend and authentication.
- Export customers and orders; assess migrations and extension maintenance.
The hidden cost may be rewriting business rules, not moving product pages. Preserve a rollback path until real order states match.
