## What it is
django-SHOP is a Django-based e-commerce framework for building online shops with fully customizable product models and composable page components via django-CMS. It exposes both HTML views and RESTful APIs so the same shop can serve browsers, single-page applications, and native clients.

## Use cases
- build an online store with django
- create a shop with custom product models and variants
- build an e-commerce backend with REST APIs for a SPA
- compose catalog, cart, and checkout pages with django-CMS plugins
- sell products with hierarchical product variations
- self-host an e-commerce platform in python

## When to choose
- you need product data models tailored to your actual product properties instead of a fixed schema
- you want deep product variant hierarchies without entity-attribute-value tables
- you are already using Django and django-CMS
- you need both server-rendered pages and RESTful endpoints for mobile or SPA clients

## When to avoid
- you want a turnkey store you can launch without writing code
- you need a large ecosystem of off-the-shelf payment and shipping plugins
- your team does not know Django or Python
- you expect frequent releases and active maintenance

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
