# Implementation guide overview

This is a ready-to-run implementation guide designed to jump-start your commerce project—whether you’re in **B2C retail** or **B2B manufacturing**.

By combining commercetools commerce APIs, Frontend, Checkout (for B2C), and Connect, this guide provides a structured path from project setup to a successful go-live.

The first three chapters—[Solution introduction](/tutorials/implementation-guide/architecture.md), [Plan your project](/tutorials/implementation-guide/project-steering.md), and [Discovery](/tutorials/implementation-guide/explore-sample-data.md)—cover everything you need to plan and decide before implementation begins. You’ll find practical tools like checklists and project templates to help you structure, organize, and efficiently manage your project.

The [Start working](/tutorials/implementation-guide/logins.md) section explains the technical setup required to connect commercetools to your broader IT landscape and establish your delivery pipeline.

The [Move beyond sample data](/tutorials/implementation-guide/project-configuration.md) section explains how to replace sample data with your own. It includes best practices and data modeling advice.

Finally, the [See it working](/tutorials/implementation-guide/demo-flow-b2c-retail.md) section outlines the demo flows for B2C and B2B, showcasing the implementation in action.

Whether your focus is B2C or B2B, this guide is your companion for a smooth and successful commercetools implementation.
