You can use CoreMedia Content Cloud to show CoreMedia content, such as articles, or complete micro sites in the commerce context (see Section 6.2.3.7, “Adding CMS Pages or Articles to the Commerce System” for details). You need two different pages in the HCL Commerce system, one for each use case.
So, create a new page in the commerce system with a layout that contains only the CoreMedia Widget.
Create a new Page in the HCL Commerce Composer, which define the URL keyword in the URL keyword field. This is "CoreMediaContentDisplay".
Create a new layout and connect it with the page created in step one.
Define a slot and place the CoreMedia Content Widget into the slot. For the CoreMediaContentDisplay layout, no property settings, except the Widget Name, are required in the widget
Now, you can add, for example, an article to a collection which is shown in a commerce category overview page. The article is shown as a teaser. When a user clicks the teaser, then, the article will be shown in its own page.
