inRiver’s commercetools integration synchronizes data using an inRiver Extension built by a System Integrator, leveraging the inRiver Integration Framework. 

• An inRiver Channel, set up in Plan and Release, is used to determine what information is sent to commercetools.

• The Framework tracks changes so only data that has changed will be synchronized.

• The inRiver Extension runs on demand or on a schedule.

• A mapping is used to transform inRiver data elements to commercetools data elements.

• After the transformation is complete, changes are delivered to commercetools using the commercetools HTTP API.

Once inRiver is integrated, category, product, variation and asset information can be sent from inRiver to Commercetools.
