Sitecore Commerce Connect is the Sitecore commerce API for storefront developers and is an integration layer between a front-end webshop solution and a back-end external commerce system. The back-end system can be any e-commerce system for which Commerce Connect connectors have been created by Sitecore or a third-party vendor.
The Commerce Connect service layer has two purposes:
- Integrating one or more webshops with one or more external commerce systems.
- Applying the unique customer engagement features of Sitecore in e-commerce solutions, regardless of the external commerce system being used.
Commerce Connect enables e-commerce solutions to use customer engagement features such as tracking customer behavior, acting on it with personalization, and following up with engagement automation and reporting. This is facilitated by having common e-commerce related engagement functionalities integrated into the Commerce Connect framework.
