Co-maintainer of django-shop here. The current django-shop codebase is still
pretty new (the old django-shop 0.2 code was more or less completely
redesigned and rewritten by Jacob Rief). Personally, I know of two
deployments in production right now, and two more likely going online within
a few weeks after Djangocon Europe. So far, I don't know of any "mobile
only" deployments, but that is definitely a use-case we do want to support.

I believe it should be possible to use django-shop as it is right now for
your use-case. Since django-shop itself does not define any concrete models,
you should be able to hook in the models of your choice, including any
relationships you chose to define. Should any part of django-shop's
functionality not be available via the REST API, we consider that a bug and
will fix it ASAP.

That said, honesty demands that I mention that you should be prepared to
handle a few rough edges here and there, since this is still basically a new
project. However, Jacob and me will gladly help out if you run into any
trouble, and we are usually quite quick in reacting to user feedback and
fixing bugs.

Oddly enough, just today, I started to work on some documentation that may
be interesting for your use-case. I hope to finish this documentation over
the course of this weekend. You can watch the progress on this branch:

https://github.com/rfleschenberg/django-shop/tree/manual-install-docs

At the moment, the particular file is:

https://github.com/rfleschenberg/django-shop/blob/manual-install-docs/docs/reference/manual-installation.rst

Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss things further. Good ways to
reach me are e-mail, #django-shop on Freenode or the Gitter room at
https://gitter.im/awesto/django-shop

Cheers,
