General
The Commerce Integration Layer is now generally available. This commercetools-hosted Experience API powers your storefronts, mobile apps, and AI agents by combining our commerce APIs with the other vendor solutions in your stack—such as search, content, and promotions. Built to be multi-tenant and frontend-agnostic, a single instance can serve multiple frontends.
You can wire new experiences in days or weeks, not months, and there is no infrastructure for you to maintain.
Core capabilities
- Build storefront backends: Power the entire customer journey with a single GraphQL API pre-loaded with commerce capabilities, so you don't build from scratch.
- Compose your stack: Extend the Experience API with your own code to inject custom logic and integrate any third-party solution.
What’s included
- Experience API: A project-scoped GraphQL API that merges a core shopper-facing schema with your custom published extensions.
