	Note
	CoreMedia Digital Experience Platform 8 feature

CoreMedia Digital Experience Platform 8 integrates with IBM WebSphere Commerce. Therefore, the Library was extended in order to offer direct access to the e-Commerce content.

You can use the placeholder content types Product Teaser, e-Marketing Spot, Augmented Category and Augmented Page to add e-Commerce content to the sites managed in CoreMedia Digital Experience Platform 8. These content items hold a link to the corresponding e-Commerce content. Changes in the e-Commerce system are immediately visible in the CMS.

In addition, you can use IBM WebSphere Commerce segments in personalized content as described in Chapter 7, Working with Personalized Content.

In the opposite direction, you can add content from the CMS system into sites created by the IBM WebSphere Commerce system.

The following sections describe how you access e-Commerce content in Studio and how you work with e-Commerce content types in order to include content from your IBM WebSphere Commerce system into your site (Content-led scenario) or the opposite direction (Commerce-led scenario or fragment approach).
