description Django Oscar Overview

Django Oscar is an open-source e-commerce framework designed specifically for the Python-based Django web framework. It is built using a domain-driven architecture, providing robust core models for handling product catalogues, inventory, pricing, and order processing. The platform is distinguished by its high modularity, allowing developers to override specific components and scale custom storefronts without modifying the core codebase. It is intended for Python developers and businesses requiring a flexible alternative to standard off-the-shelf e-commerce software.

help Django Oscar FAQ

Is Django Oscar a complete online store or a set of Django components?

Oscar is an open-source e-commerce framework built on Django, not a hosted storefront like Shopify. It provides working catalogue, basket, offer, checkout, order, and dashboard applications that developers can extend or replace.

Can Django Oscar handle different prices for the same product?

Yes. Its strategy layer separates availability and pricing decisions from the product catalogue, which supports cases such as customer-specific prices, regional stock, and partner-based fulfilment.

Does Django Oscar include payment processing?

Oscar models checkout, payment sources, and transactions, but a project still needs an integration with a processor such as Stripe or Adyen. The framework intentionally leaves the final gateway choice and business rules to the store developer.

How is Django Oscar different from Saleor?

Oscar is a traditional Django framework intended for deep Python-level customization of the whole commerce application. Saleor is better known as a headless, GraphQL-based commerce platform, so it fits teams that want separate storefront clients.
