Liferay Commerce 3.0 and Below

Liferay Commerce 3.0 comes bundled with Liferay Portal 7.3 CE GA6 and Liferay DXP 7.3 GA1. The Community Edition comes bundled with a basic version of Commerce, while the Enterprise Edition comes with a full-featured Enterprise Commerce. Both CE and Enterprise versions are available as Docker images and downloadable bundles:

Installation Method	Purpose
Docker image	Getting started with a Docker image is the fastest way to begin touring Liferay Commerce
Bundle	Liferay Commerce pre-bundled with an application server. The most common way to get started running a Liferay installation.

Liferay Portal bundles and images require no additional, Commerce-specific installation steps. Basic Commerce features come activated and can be used immediately on startup.

In DXP installations, both basic and enterprise Commerce modules are deactivated by default and require activation for use. Once both DXP and Commerce licenses are deployed and validated, all Commerce modules are started and become immediately available; no server restart is required.
