===================================
Domain-driven e-commerce for Django
===================================

Oscar is an e-commerce framework for Django designed for building domain-driven
sites.  It is structured such that any part of the core functionality can be
customised to suit the needs of your project.  This allows a wide range of
e-commerce requirements to be handled, from large-scale B2C sites to complex B2B
sites rich in domain-specific business logic.

Case studies
------------

Oscar is still in active development, but is used in production by a range of
companies, from large multinationals to small, boutique stores:

Tangent projects:

* Tata Group - http://www.landmarkonthenet.com
* Carlsberg - Their global "We Deliver More" platform is powered by Oscar (but
  is a B2B site so it not browsable by the public).
* The UK Labour party - http://shop.labour.org.uk

Non-Tangent:

* Dolbeau - http://www.dolbeau.ca/

Many more on the way.  If you use Oscar in production, please let us know.
