Extending Broadleaf can be made in different ways.

  1. Because it uses spring you can replace actual beans with your implementation of some service for example ( or dao etc )
  2. Also there are some extension points, you can see for example org.broadleafcommerce.core.extension.ExtensionManager and it's implementation and you can find points where you might add custom validation to cart for example. ( you can even change the controller). see org.broadleafcommerce.core.web.service.UpdateCartServiceExtensionManager as an example
  3. Broadleaf has some concept of workflow that contains many Activities : org.broadleafcommerce.core.workflow.Activity that are handled by sequential Processors : org.broadleafcommerce.core.workflow.SequenceProcessor .For example you could see org.broadleafcommerce.core.order.service.workflow.add.ValidateAddRequestActivity that has the role of validating add order item to cart.

If you want to find more tutorials you should read : http://docs.broadleafcommerce.org/core/current

You can write your own functionality. If you have seen demo site, it has 3 sub projects admin, core, site. As per its documentation

admin - has code related to admin functionality like adding and managing product catalog

site - has code to present product catalog and offers with checkout and payment to user

core - has code which is common to both admin and site module.
