Connector for HCL Commerce Manual / Version 2307
Table Of ContentsThis manual describes how the CoreMedia system integrates with HCL Commerce Server. You will learn how to add fragments from the CoreMedia system into a HCL Commerce generated site, how to access the HCL Commerce catalog from the CoreMedia system and how to develop with the eCommerce API.
In general CoreMedia Content Cloud offers two integration scenarios with HCL Commerce: Content-led and commerce-led (see Chapter 6, Commerce-led Integration Scenario).
In the commerce-led scenario, pages are delivered by the HCL Commerce system. The page navigation is determined by the catalog category structure and cannot be changed in the CMS. You can augment the categories and product detail pages with content from the CMS. Content and settings are also inherited along the catalog category structure.
In the content-led scenario, pages are delivered by both systems, transparent for the user. You can manipulate the navigation through the catalog pages and add complete new navigation paths. You can augment product detail pages with content from the CMS. Categories are rendered from the CAE. However, content and settings are inherited along the catalog category structure.
