Drupal has weak commerce , wp's woocommerce has millions users, I am suggesting if backdrop able to lead the commerce development, will make backdrop a strong position in the market.
All that remains is to find volunteers who will do this.
In fact, now is the time for marketplaces; in other cases, for quick integration with various systems, it is easier to use something like Ecwid. For the average brand, a store based on Backdrop (Drupal, WordPress) is not serious.
Its not like 10 years ago, content is content, store is store, content + commerce is in most of the website today. backdrop is not in the position to fight with wp and drupal, but if backdrop has good commerce together which will help to attract 10 of thousands users.
I have worked years ago with both Drupal Ubercart and Drupal Commerce. I think Drupal created Commerce as an alternative to Ubercart with a motive to commercialize its own e-commerce module as well as itself in later versions.
I am glad that Ubercart finds refuge and development in Backdrop and I believe that it is a good and working solution for those sites for which Backdrop itself is intended - websites for small and medium businesses or non-governmental organizations.
I've been using Ubercart with Backdrop for a few years now and I'm happy with it, although I can see that it has a long way to go before it fully backdrops.
The most important advantage of Ubercart + Backdrop is the extreme flexibility of such a system and the possibility to add any type of content other than products for sale to the e-store. This makes the site more interesting and useful for visitors and creates a much greater potential for search engine optimization compared to systems that are a simple catalog with an ordering cart.
Why doesn't Drupal have a good eCommerce solution? I guess for the same reason it wants to be a platform for ambitious sites. A solution is possible, but at an extremely high cost for resources and support.
Woocommerce is indeed very popular but it multiplies the disadvantages of Wordpress squarely. Heavy, with bloated code and very difficult to administer and optimize. And its popularity is easy to explain if we make a comparison, for example, with literature. There are not many people who love quality literature and have their own opinion. Most follow what others recommend.
Ubercart for Backdrop is a very good solution, it just needs to continue to be improved and successively backdroparized. For example, through more decisive use of Views and Rules. There are also many abandoned Ubercart modules for Drupal 7 that can be optimized and converted and extend the range of possibilities.
I know the crucial need of volunteers, not words. But volunteers also need user input and encouragement, so I'm writing this.
as a powerful content management system, I am surprise there is no way to do the pay-to-publish function in backdrop and drupal8+ , backdrop has so many to do with commerce to surpass drupal, the ubercart just a starting point.
well @herb I cannot believe it, but the webform module was there in modules on the disc, but missing in the listed modules, so I delete the module folder, and downloaded it again.
Then...

What about Ubercart, Rules and Membership Entity? (theoretically, haven't tried it myself)
