xC extension points

To develop logic for integrations with WebSphere Commerce, we can use xC extension points. The extension points enable you to extend the classes for some commands.

Most REST APIs require the storeId. To find the store ID, open the Store Management tool within the Management Center and select the store. Then, view Store Properties > Store Profile and note the store ID value displayed as the store's Unique ID.

• Inventory xC extension points
  We can customize how WebSphere Commerce integrates with external inventory management systems, such as how WebSphere Commerce consumes inventory availability updates from external inventory management systems.

• Order xC extension points
  We can customize how WebSphere Commerce handles cart and order capture operations and integrations with an external order management system.

• Payment xC extension points
  We can customize how WebSphere Commerce integrates with third-party payment gateways. Use these extension points to customize how WebSphere Commerce interacts with payment gateways to process payments during order capture.

• Tax xC extension points
  We can use the tax_integration_custom extension point to integrate with an external tax system to calculate sales and shipping tax.

• User registration xC extension points
  We can customize how WebSphere Commerce handles user registration. For example, use these extension points to add custom logic to validate user information before the user profile is updated.
