B2B direct Extended Sites starter store (Business Edition)

Use the B2B direct Extended Sites starter store to get started on setting up a B2B direct extended sites solution that will allow your selling organization to provide unique storefronts for different enterprise customers or showcase a number of branded storefronts.

The three main components of an extended sites solution are the B2B direct hub, the shared master catalog, and the extended sites.

Creation and management of the B2B direct extended sites is done through the hub. These extended sites can share much of the data, such as master catalog and list prices, presentation information (from a set of presentation asset stores), and even some campaign data, and hence are lightweight overall. All features of the advanced B2B direct starter store, such as buyer registration, approvals, and account management, also apply in an extended site.

The extended sites starter store provides all the pages and features necessary for a functioning extended site solution. It is packaged with WebSphere Commerce as a store archive. All that is required to view the starter store is to publish the archive to the WebSphere Commerce Server using the publishing tool provided in the WebSphere Commerce Administration Console. All extended sites starter store pages use JavaServer Pages and XML to load the necessary data and can be customized.
