[NFB-Web] Question - non-NFB website migration to Drupal

Wed Feb 9 14:24:46 UTC 2022

That's a fair point. We're using Drupal Commerce on our affiliate

very tech savvy, we should consider writing a how-to on how to set it
up. Drupal Commerce, in my opinion, is more of a pain in the butt to
get off the ground.--Joe
