Alfa Commerce developer manual

How to extend Alfa Commerce, the eCommerce component for Joomla: its plugins, events, services and REST API.

What Alfa Commerce needs, how to install and update it, and the first steps of a new shop.

Payment, shipping, form field, item field, media, search and feature plugins, each with a complete example.

Choose a plugin type, type its name and your details, and download a working starter plugin as a ZIP.

Every event the shop sends, when it is sent, and whether a listener can stop what is happening.

Cart and checkout, orders, payments and shipments, documents, pricing, stock and notifications.

The database, background work, order e-mails, languages, caches, integrity and security.

The token, every route, the filters of each list, and the Postman collection.

How to send a change to Alfa Commerce, and what the automated checks do with it.

The words this manual uses, each explained once.
