4. Naming of the plugin#
Status#
Accepted
Context#
Initially, we wanted a very descriptive name for this plugin (Open edX WooCommerce Plugin) to avoid confusion because there are different types of plugins in Open edX. Still, for WordPress plugin guidelines, we cannot submit a plugin with the word “plugin” or trademarks as “woocommerce.”
Decision#
Change the name of the plugin to “Open edX Commerce.”
Consequences#
Change the name in all the code, including files and database names.
The WordPress plugin doesn’t have the same name as the GitHub repository to store more information about this plugin that adds information in the Open edX context.
Rejected Alternatives#
Use “ecommerce” in the name: to avoid confusion with the current e-commerce service.
