I’ve been implementing various sites with Drupal for years. By no means am I a high end developer. But for a system with many modules available, composer, drush, etc it’s just never easy to put simple building blocks together and get it to work.

Drupal 11 and Commerce 3, check. Want to implement Simplenews for a newsletter to start building a funnel? Sure if you want to send text emails. Symfony mailer light and it doesn’t work well together. (As in over a day fighting with google, ChatGPT, Gemini trying to see why email confirmation stopped sending, etc.

It’s just always something. This doesn’t work with that. Or “it said it would but you need a previous version” etc. Then you find a conflicting module, go to remove it and it’s got its hooks in and you can’t uninstall it.

Just not a very mature system. I really wish it was. Yes I’m frustrated. Is it just me?

Struggling to get a new Drupal 11 + Commerce 3 functional with PayPal gateway. Finally got sandbox verified, added product and have add to cart. In my flow, shipping is before payment. I never get asked for address, and PayPal doesn’t send it back when the order completes.

ChatGPT has me going in circles. Can’t figure this out! Please help.
