In the previous chapter, we looked at the new Website Builder application and saw how it can be used to create a website with ease. Now that we understand the basics of getting a website up and running, this chapter will show you how you can extend a simple website to become a full e-commerce site that can take and manage orders. Even better, this functionality ties directly into sales management, which you learned about in Chapter 3, Exploring CRM in Odoo 11.

The topics covered in this chapter include the following:

• An overview of e-commerce and how it is implemented in Odoo
• How to install e-commerce and view the default web store
• Configuring and modifying your online store
• How to use product variants such as color and size to provide customized options for the products you sell
