CoreMedia Digital Experience Platform 8 supports work with two product catalogs:
With Brand Blueprint you can use a product catalog maintained as content in the CoreMedia repository.
With e-Commerce Blueprint you can use IBM WebSphere Commerce catalogs
Local product catalog
The local product catalog bases on the content types Product and Category. You can use the Library to
build your product hierarchy.
IBM WebSphere Commerce Integration
CoreMedia Digital Experience Platform 8 is a product that integrates with IBM WebSphere Commerce in order to let you create engaging and inspiring web shops. You can use the Studio Library to access e-Commerce content and add it to your website via placeholder content items. Create, for example, a Product Teaser content item and drag a Product from the WebSphere system into this teaser. Now, you can add it to your page and you will see the Product information in your CMS site.
If you use the Workspaces feature in IBM WebSphere Commerce Server Management Center you can select your current workspace in CoreMedia DXP 8 and will see this data in the CoreMedia system.
If you want to edit WCS content, you can open the IBM WebSphere Commerce system directly from Studio with the Commerce item already selected.
You can also define content that is only shown when specific conditions are fulfilled. For example, when the website user is member of an IBM WebSphere Commerce segment or at a specific time. These settings are done in the CoreMedia DXP 8 system but are also recognized in IBM WebSphere sites that integrate this CoreMedia content.
