    Study Notes

    Configured Commerce REST APIs

    • The Configured Commerce REST API is built on RESTful-based services using JSON objects interacting with Configured Commerce data.
    • The Storefront API uses HTTP verbs for its objects and methods.
    • The Storefront API was designed with the following considerations in mind:
      • Connecting to Configured Commerce from other platforms (connected commerce).
      • Allowing developers to build services around the API for a developer-friendly, flexible, and modern experience.
      • Providing seamless upgrades.
      • Building a facade in front of the application to allow for improvements with minimal interruption.
      • Scalability.
    • The Storefront API focuses on delivering digital commerce functionality for:
      • Viewing products related to a website.
      • Adding products to a user's cart.
      • Working with user account information.
    • The Administrative API provides data-level access to all objects in the Configured Commerce platform.
    • The Administrative API is used to integrate other platforms that require access to all objects in Configured Commerce, not just those within a specific user or website context.
    • The Storefront API includes a basic digital commerce workflow using jQuery:
      • Signing In and Creating a B2B Session requires two requests: one to authenticate with Identity Server and a second to create a Configured Commerce session.
      • Retrieving the Product Catalog retrieves products available in the current context (e.g., user, customer, website). This request may not require authentication.
      • Retrieving All Categories fetches all categories.
      • Searching for Products using a query allows users to search the product catalog using a text query.
      • Retrieving Product Details displays the details of a specific product.
      • Creating a Wishlist and Adding a Product to it involves two steps: creating a wishlist and adding a product to the newly created wishlist.
      • Adding Products to the Shopping Cart allows users to add products to their cart with a quantity.
      • Changing the Quantity of a Product in the Shopping Cart allows users to adjust the quantity of products in their cart.
      • Submitting an Order finalizes the order using the updated cart with shipping information, payment method, and other details.
