Centarro: How to Know If Your eCommerce Developer is Failing You
A business spends hundreds of thousands of dollars with a developer or agency to build an eCommerce website, endures years of instability and missed deadlines, and then concludes that the platform just doesn't work. They start eyeing Shopify or whatever choice platform the first consultant they engage recommends, hoping the grass will be greener. Meanwhile, the actual issue-an underqualified or negligent service provider-walks away unexamined.
Developer problems are often disguised as platform problems. We've seen this situation many times with Drupal Commerce implementations that aren't performing as desired. We've even solved issues merchants put up with for years in a matter of hours. It's not that we're special, though we do know our own platform better than anyone else. We believe any competent Drupal developer would also be able to identify and solve these issues, possibly just as quickly.
So how do you tell the difference? How do you know your issues stem from your developer, and not your platform?
Below, we'll give you the language and the lens to evaluate whether your developer is actually serving you well, or whether they're the reason your Drupal Commerce site feels like it's held together with duct tape and bubblegum.
How some developers get in over their heads
A company needs a Drupal website with eCommerce capabilities, so they search for a Drupal developer. Maybe they already have a Drupal website and want to add some commerce features. Either way, they find a freelancer who has built blogs, nonprofit sites, and maybe a university portal with some advanced functionality. That person says, "Sure, I can handle commerce. It's just another module." For a basic eCommerce website with minimal traffic, maybe they can.
