Commerce

Module to generate commerce and product related entries.

Overview

For a long product name like 'Incredible Soft Gloves', use productName(). The product names are generated from a list of adjectives, materials, and products, which can each be accessed separately using productAdjective(), productMaterial(), and product(). You can also create a description using productDescription().

For a department in a shop or product category, use department().

You can also create a price using price().
