Store Creation wizard

The Store Creation wizard provided with WebSphere Commerce allows you to create stores.

The wizard...

  1. Asks a customer to provide some basic data about their store...

    • name
    • description
    • etc...

  2. Allows the customer to select the storefront or catalog they want to use

  3. Creates the store

The resulting store has some unique data (basic store data that makes it a unique store), but uses the storefront and catalog data from existing asset stores.

The Store Creation wizard's behavior is governed by a template, which determines what options are available for creating the store, including...

WebSphere Commerce provides several templates for the Store Creation wizard, one for each supported business model. These templates are located in...

WC_INSTALL/xml/trading/xml

A template is associated with the Store Creation wizard, based on the type of storefront asset store chosen in the wizard. For example if you choose to use assets from the reseller storefront asset store (identified as RPS in the STORETYPE field in the STORE table) the Store Creation wizard uses...

TemplateHostingContractRPS.xml

It is also possible to create stores or extended sites by importing an XML service agreement. WebSphere Commerce provides templates to assist with this task.

To change the assets that the store shares, change the asset store.
