Commerce

Starting next month (October 2025), Washington businesses and residents will be paying sales tax on a slew of new services -- including custom web development, IT services, digital advertising, and even temporary workers.

As we start developing mini-products to offer to our clients, we've found we actually need to group multiple products under one purchase.

It's only taken two years since the release of Drupal 8 for us to get our own site updated... Cobbler's children and all. But finally, we are proud to unveil our shiny new site!

But wait, don't you tell your clients you don't need a new site?

We're nearing launch of two new Drupal Commerce sites, one of them being this one. It turns out Freelock.com has some relatively sophisticated commerce needs: some taxable products, some non-taxable products. Recurring subscriptions. Arbitrary invoice payments.

We're in the midst of a Commerce 2 build-out for a client, and a key requirement was to preserve their quantity pricing rules.

Shan asks,

I've long been a Bitcoin skeptic, not necessarily seeing the point of it. While I've kept passing tabs on its progress, I did not think it was viable, or worth much beyond pure speculative game play, a forum for making bets that today are up quite a lot.

It goes something like this:

(Client): I want to add a shopping cart to my site. I heard that xyz cart is free, can you add that for me?

(Developer): Sure! That looks easy.
