Visit the siteHedonism Wines required a modern, enterprise-grade ecommerce platform capable of supporting a large and constantly evolving product catalogue of more than 60,000 items. The new Drupal Commerce solution was designed to integrate deeply with EPOS, logistics, and fulfilment systems while enabling complex regulatory workflows and a premium customer experience. The platform includes bespoke modules, advanced checkout logic, and a scalable architecture to support long-term commercial growth.
About the project
The objective was to deliver a resilient enterprise ecommerce solution capable of managing a substantial product catalogue, detailed product metadata, and the regulatory requirements involved in alcohol sales. Hedonism Wines required real-time integrations with EPOS and logistics systems to reflect stock availability, fulfil orders efficiently, and support omnichannel operations.
The project implemented Drupal Commerce 2 on Drupal 10, supported by a suite of custom modules. Custom checkout rules enforced region-specific constraints, age verification steps, and specialised fulfilment workflows. A scalable product content model was designed to support more than 60,000 items, with custom import pipelines automating updates from business systems and external suppliers.
The resulting platform offered the stability, flexibility, and performance required for Hedonism’s global online store. Ongoing management, hosting, and marketing services ensured continuous optimisation and long-term commercial growth.
Why Drupal was chosen
Drupal Commerce on Drupal 10 was selected for its flexibility, robustness, and ability to support a very large metadata-rich catalogue with sophisticated commercial requirements. Drupal’s extensible architecture provided a strong foundation for regulated products, enabling the implementation of bespoke checkout logic, detailed product modelling, and multiple high-value integrations with EPOS and fulfilment systems. Its open-source ecosystem allowed continuous improvement, custom workflows, and future-ready expansion.
Technical Specifications
Drupal version:
The selected contributed modules form the core of Hedonism Wines' enterprise ecommerce platform. Drupal Commerce 2.x provides the foundation for products, orders, checkout flows, and pricing logic. Commerce Shipping and the Shipping API were chosen to support complex, multi-condition shipping requirements and to enable integration with external fulfilment systems.
Stripe Payment was selected as the primary payment gateway for its reliability, wide card support, and seamless integration with Drupal Commerce. Klaviyo API Integration enables automated marketing and customer lifecycle communications, allowing product and order data to sync in real time. Search API (together with Solr where applicable) was chosen to handle indexing and fast retrieval across a catalogue of more than 60,000 products, ensuring accurate filtering, faceting, and discoverability.
Together, these modules provide a stable, extensible, and performant e-commerce architecture suitable for Hedonism’s high-volume product catalogue and operational requirements.
