CoreMedia’s commercetools integration is based on an API layer called the CoreMedia Commerce Hub that is deeply integrated into CoreMedia’s platform. This integration includes the editorial interface (the CoreMedia Studio) including comprehensive preview capabilities as well as all the delivery components. CoreMedia’s content delivery components include the Content Application Engine (CAE) for server-side rendering and the CoreMedia Headless Server for client-side rendering.
CoreMedia supports a wide range of integration patterns for content. CoreMedia can be used:
To deliver content fragments or data into an existing online store (commerce-led or headless)
To render the entire experience (content-led approach)
For anything in between (hybrid approach).
Because the commercetools provides powerful GraphQL support, frontend integration with CoreMedia is relatively straightforward. All you need to do is add a second endpoint pointing to the CoreMedia Headless Server and you can start loading content and data into your Vue client immediately.
Once CoreMedia is integrated with your frontend store experience, you can enable the responsive slider so that marketing users can easily check the experience for multiple viewports. You can also add CoreMedia Preview Driven Editing enabling editors to right click on a contextual pop-up menu directly within the preview to start editing right away. And of course, there is “time travel”, which gives editors the capability of previewing the experience for future or past dates.
It only takes a few days to get the initial integration up and running. The required knowledge set includes java programming for the CoreMedia Commerce Hub integration with some commercetools and CoreMedia knowledge to map the data.
