Extended sites hub site flow
The extended sites hub (available only if ExtendedSitesHub.sar has been published) is an e-commerce site where prospective Sellers can register and set up a store. Seller is a role defined in WebSphere Commerce to supervise the overall store objectives and management, in addition to tracking the store sales.
From the extended sites hub, a Seller can do the following:
- Self-register from the extended sites hub. Once approved, Sellers can create a store using the Store Creation wizard.
- Manage the store. Capabilities include changing the store look and feel, marketing, product management, and others.
- Execute organization and user management tasks.
Channel Manager is another important role defined in WebSphere Commerce. Channel Managers can administer the extended sites hub by using the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
