This document discusses integrating e-commerce capabilities into an AEM 5.6.1 implementation. It covers importing and managing products and catalogs on the author instance, and enabling session management, personalization, search and caching on the publish instance. The main challenges discussed are handling dynamic content like prices and availability, personal user information, and transactions while ensuring cacheability. Tools demonstrated include the product importer, catalog blueprint, CRX for caching, and using client context and JSON for personalization.

3. What is e-Commerce ?
• Remote commercial transactions
• Electronic or digital interfaces
• Multi-channel and multi-protocol
• Main remote sales channel

4. How to start ?

5. What can I do with it ?
On Author:
• Product Import
• Catalog Management
• Segmentation
On Publish:
• Session Management
• Personalization
• Search

6. One framework to rule them all ?

7. #1: Online Catalog

8. #2: Hybris integration

9. #3: Custom integration

10. What are the main challenges ?

11. Products and Catalogs

12. From PIM to product pages…
• Product Import
• Content Structure
• Multi-Channel, Multi-market, Multi-lingual
• Catalog pages creation

13. Demo

14. The Tools
• Product Importer (manual, scheduled, incremental)
• Product Scaffolding (CMS enrichment)
• Catalog Blueprint (catalog pages rollout)

15. Cacheability

16. The Bad Guys
• Dynamic Content (price, availability)
• Customer Specific Information (context information)
• Sensitive Information (checkout information)
• Transactions (cart and account operations, checkout)

17. Demo

18. The Tools
• CRX (“static” product information)
• Dispatcher and Webserver (Cache and SSI)
• Proxy / CDN (Edge-Side Includes)
• Client Context (Local Storage, Cookie, Memory)

19. Personalization

20. It can happen EVERYWHERE
• Navigation and facets
• Dynamic Pushes and Cross-Sells, Offers and
Promotions
• Product Visibility and Prices
• Sensitive information

21. Demo

22. The Tools
• Client Context and Segmentation
• Cacheable and non-cacheable JSON
• Permission Sensitive Caching

23. Session Management

24. Or how to keep a state in a
stateless architecture
• 3rd party authentication
• Session ID
• Back-End persistence
• Client Context

25. Demo

26. Be Careful With
• Session stickiness (Token-based authentication)
• Session expiration (e-Commerce VS CRX Token)
• Session failover (publish instance crash)
• Number of users (purge)

27. Thank You !
