I'm trying to set up a really basic e-commerce site with Django, and am trying to figure out the best place to start. I am relatively comfortable with the framework itself, but have never done any sort of e-commerce development in any language, so I want to learn about some best practices so I don't make any huge or obvious mistakes.
I've looked at Satchmo, and even went as far as installing and playing around with it, but it looks like way more than I want. I basically want to show users a list of things, and let them click a button to buy one. No cart, no shipping, just click a button, connect with Authorize.net (or something similar) to do the transaction, and then display a confirmation page.
Any suggestions or online tutorials people have found helpful? Even perhaps a tutorial in another language. Or maybe a really lightweight Django plugin that doesn't try to do everything like Satchmo? I've been coming up with very little so far.
Thanks!

Django is perfect for e-commerce startups, as it's a good fit for small websites and can scale perfectly with business growth. You can rely on Django to handle hundreds/thousands of visitors at a time. It's built with independent components you can unplug or replace depending on your needs at any specific time.
Besides, you can use Python to build a custom eCommerce website without involving too much Javascript or any other coding framework. If you need your e-commerce project to serve the best possible performance, Python is the language for you.
I did some research recently that may be of interest. Basically, I think Satchless is the most promising right now.
