Integration Guide
October 4, 2021
Overview
This guide provides an overview of the integration process and step-by-step instructions.
When integrating the product content, we recommend that you start by identifying how the content is used throughout your e-commerce site (Product Page, Search / Navigation, Product Accessories and Comparison).
The next step would be to identify what systems will store and receive the product content (database, PIM, e-commerce platform, search engine).
Once you have determined how and where the content will be utilized, you can choose the integration method best suited for each use (database feed, JavaScript, API, XML).
After that you may upload your product catalog to CCS if you chose to receive the content for your specific catalog. If you opted to receive DataSource catalog products without providing your catalog then you may skip this step.
Install the ContentConnector to receive, load and maintain your DataSource feed in the database.
Now you may start downloading your DataSource feed and/or activating JavaScript/API to begin utilizing the service or leverage other delivery methods (XML).
