Commerce Layer Provider
Before getting started, you should do the following:
- Create a Commerce Layer developer account.
- Create a new organization for your business.
- Create an application with the
sales_channelkind.
Next, copy the .env.template file in this directory to .env.local in the main directory (which will be ignored by Git):
cp framework/commercelayer/.env.template .env.local
Next, add the application credentials from your organization's application dashboard in .env.local.
Content management
Commerce Layer does not provide a collaborative environment to create and modify digital content but is CMS agnostic. It manages the transactional part of a sales channel and allows users to integrate with any CMS of their choice. This will enable businesses to utilize any content model, produce a better customer experience, outstand competition, and unleash creativity. For now, in this provider, we manage content locally, and in the future, you would be able to plug in any CMS of your choice instead.
Checkout
Demo checkout in this provider is powered by the open-sourced Commmerce Layer React Checkout application that provides you with a PCI-compliant, PSD2-compliant, and production-ready checkout flow that lets you easily place orders through the Commerce Layer API.
Future upgrades
For now, this provider supports a single market. In the future, we would add multi-market support by default so you can add more than one market from your organization to your application. Also, note that the demo is configured to serve a US market; hence you need to checkout with an address in the United States to get the available shipping methods. You can learn more about how to create markets in different categorized geographical regions for your organization here.
