Integration of Commerce Systems
Integrating a commerce system is, in general, not an easy task, but the complexity highly depends on the requirements you have. The biggest cost drivers are usually custom workflows or commerce or cms which don't fit the main goals of these workflows. You could use a headless solution with React, Angular or Vue which highly changes options to integrate 3rd party systems, rather than doing it the conventional way through SSR.
Please bear in mind that we only show ways to solve specific needs, and we cannot go into every aspect of a commerce integration here. In this case, a green color is meant to signify not just a simple integration, but rather that it serves as a solid, supported, and tested starting point.
Connect with the Commerce Connector Pack
The main focus of the Commerce Connector Pack is to connect magnolia cms to any type of PIM or commerce system that offers APIs. The central feature is to pick product or catalog information from these external systems and integrate it into magnolia-based components like carousels and teasers. Everything is done through magnolia's user interface, so you don't need to switch application contexts.
The module will offer you the option to choose any type of product information from SAP Commerce and display it however you like inside Magnolia.
For SAP Commerce there is already an official predefined connector module available, which is based on the connector pack from magnolia cms. The benefit is that you don't need to start from scratch. The basic implementation is done, and you can concentrate on custom workflows. If you want to learn more about this module, please contact Magnolia they will help you with the integration.
Storefront Integration
Like many other commerce systems, SAP Commerce also has its own storefront solution called Spartacus. Arvato Systems provides an integration. If you want to learn more about it, please contact Arvato Systems they will help you with the integration.
