Turned my Discourse into a successful ecommerce platform!

I would just like to send a big thanks to the entire team and the community for providing such a great piece of software. It’s reliable, fast, and it blows traditional forum software out of the water! I’ve turned our Discourse instance into a small marketplace community that is slowly climbing in sales/users/traffic.

The possibilities are endless when you throw a couple of plugins at Discourse. I recommend it 100%!

Hi,
Is this Fee calculator something that you are willing to contribute to the community?

Sorry, not at the moment. It wouldn’t be useful anyway, all the values/etc are hard-coded just for our site. It has no option to edit values/responses.

Hello Dave,

Would you be able to provide some details on how to add a section of text/html to the home page? Just like in your site, you have a lot of details and then the category. I have raised a question in the forum also.

Thanks,

Just wanted to give an update on how awesome discourse is :slight_smile: We’ve been operational for over three years now and despite the low member count (25Kish) our instance is a sales powerhouse! Our company is now a fully certified escrow service managing hundreds of transactions per month (mostly services), all thanks to discourse. A big thanks to the entire discourse team!
