How we implemented a Drupal Commerce marketplace for safety equipment
summary
A Drupal 8 marketplace built on Commerce 2 (v2.2 base) hosts 60 vendors and roughly 10,000 products with ~50,000 variations across three languages, using a custom seven‑step multi‑store product creation UI that produces commerce product entities and variations, guided by field notifications and a state machine approval workflow so the platform owner controls publication. Extended faceted search and hierarchical category→product‑type mapping support safety norms, migrations complete, project runs 10 months with a nine‑person core team and is live and operational for six months.
