CoreMedia Digital Experience Platform 8 offers an integration of IBM WebSphere Commerce Server systems. Each content site can be configured with a specific shop instance to deliver content pages mixed with e-Commerce catalog items. The term "e-Commerce catalog items" means all items that live only in the e-Commerce catalog. Nevertheless, these elements are to be interwoven with content on mixed pages.
From classical shop pages, like a product catalog ordered by categories or product detail pages up to landing pages or homepages, all grades of mixing content with catalog items are conceivable. The approach followed in this chapter, assumes that items from the catalog will be linked or embedded without having stored these items in the CMS system. Catalog items will be linked typically and not imported (importless integration).
