Is there a way to embed a business catalyst ecommerce site into another site?

If I build an ecommerce site in business catalyst, can I embed it into another site? For example if I already have a public site (using Adobe CQ), can I embed a Business Catalyst site into my Adobe CQ webpage to function as the ecommerce portion of my Adobe CQ site?  Would the API allow for this? Thanks in advance.

Yes you could do it with the API, but it would an epic programming adventure to get it going, as far I know no one else is doing it. It would be extremely slow to use the API in realtime (ie get the contents from the API every page request as the API is slow and times out certain parts of the day sometimes) so you would have to sync your data between the sites. You would also have to work out shipping externally because you can't get any sort of shipping information from the API (as far as I know)
An easier way would be to setup a reverse proxy to your BC site, the only issue with that is that when you start to hit HTTPs pages on checkout you wont be able to proxy them (securely) unless you get your own certificate for the site you are proxying from. I have done this for other sites before but not BC, in theory it should work because BC allows any domain and they shouldn't be any sort of domain / RDNS security checks.

  • All-in-one inventory management linked to business catalyst eCommerce site , amazon, ebay, etsy, etc.

    I have an eCommerce website to create for one of my clients.
    My client will sell products on his website, ebay, amazon, and maybe event etsy.
    What would be the best solution for a all-in-one multi-channel inventory control system?
    Is there a way to link the Business Catalyst inventory mgmt system with other sales channels?
    Do you suggest a different solution, in order to have an all-in-one control of inventory linked to the website, eBay, Amazon, Etsy and maybe others, so that my client will be able to see which models are selling the most, as well as what is left and what is in need of reordering?
    Thank you for the support,
    blankiris

    I've built systems like this in the past, with any custom solution the devil is in the details, it depends on what you want to do and what you expect. As Liam has pointed out the API is your best friend here, you can develop something that pulls data from BC and puts it where you need.
    If you try to do everything at once (all those sites listed) you might find you have problems, I would start with one site first, make any changes you need there and roll out to the other platforms.
    Please drop me a PM I would be happy to assist in building.

  • Is there a way I can have Business Catalyst automatically import product content from Amazon? (e.g. a Web App I could build, perhaps?)

    I'm currently building a site using Drupal that is basically a huge book database and book review site. In order to acquire basic information about certain books I'm using an Amazon module that automatically pulls information into my Drupal database (such as author name, page count, publication date, etc.) based on any ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) I enter. It's a pretty nice arrangement. Also, people can click on a link that leads them to the item on Amazon so that they can purchase it and I can collect a puny affiliate commission. Yay Internet!
    But I'd like to use Muse and Business Catalyst instead. I was able to create a Web App version of my database but I can't figure out how to 1) automatically import based on ASIN and 2) automatically link each book record in the database to its page on Amazon. Honestly, if I could just get the info into the database alone I'd be happy.
    I'm afraid that Adobe would have to create some sort of connection on their end that interfaces with the Amazon API - and therefore there is no way to create such a website now using Muse. But, of course, I don't know everything so I ask you all: is there a way this can happen now?
    Thanks for all of your input!

    To do stuff like that will always need custom coding and things like API work. You will never be able to use Muse for that, its a basic site design tool that can hook up to BC modules. You will need to use coding software and have custom API work done for things like this.

  • Is there any way to embed the pdf file in the book created in iBooks Author to make it available to be downloaded or sent to email? So that the user can print it out.

    Is there any way to embed the pdf file in the book created in iBooks Author to make it available to be downloaded or sent to email?
    I'm making the book for children and there is one chapter providing coloring pages. So I wish to attach pdf files that allow users to download it at the end of chapter so that  they can print it out. Been searching through discussion, I've found some advice about taking screen snapshot page-by-page > then send the pics from photo album to email. However, I'm wondering if there's a way that make the process easier.

    Warehouse that PDF on your own server, then link to it from your book.

  • Is there a way to embed copyright information with forms?

    I would like to put a copyright on custom forms I am creating, or not really a copyright but just an acknowldgement of my company as the creator of the form and of the practice which is using the form. Is there a way to embed this in a PDF. Not necessarily in a visible way either. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. My boss is demanding this so please help!

    First you can add the information as a footer in the authoring program.
    Next you can add custom meta data fields to include the copyright notice, contact information, and usage restrictions through the "File => Properties => Custom" UI or with JavaScript. Doc Properties info
    You can also set the meta daa copyright through the "File => Properties => Description => Additional Metadata..."  or with JavaScript. Doc Properties metadata
    You can modify these scripts to make them functions that can be accessed by adding an option to an Acrobat menu item or as a tool bar button.

  • Is there a way to "embed"/add Office updates to the image before deployment?

    Hi,
    in my TS I enabled preapp and postapp Updates
    So first windows patches are applied. Then computer reboots installs apps.
    I just enabled bunch of Office 2013 updates on WSUS. Office patches takes very long time.
    Is there a way to embed patches in MDT to save update time.
    Never used Packages node in MDT may this thing can help?
    How you deal with massive updates?
    Windows image can be updated, but Office for example that is installed after Windows deployment...
    Thx.

    b.lange,
    no I do not install O2013 into the image. It is deployed as post OS install Application.
    I really don't see any significant gain of using individual patches in Updates or from WSUS.
    BTW, I am still confused about getting MS patches (KBs) beside by WSUS and creating msp from bunch of them.
    Could you please briefly describe where and how to download Office 2013 patches for Example from Feb 1 2014 until Sep 15 2014. And then create msp for placing to Updates folder.
    Is there something specific for Office 2013 patches that makes it easy to get as a package (one file)?
    Thanks.

  • Is there a way to embed a document in a FormsCentral form that users can download?

    I want users (i.e., people submitting a form) to be able to download a document.  Is there a way to embed a document in a FormsCentral online form?

    You can't embed it directly. You could put the document on your website then create a hyperlink on the FormsCentral form to your document.

    Hello Earth-lings,
    Good Day!
    First of all, I have created a website for a client of mine
    but whenever they wanted to
    visit their 100% Flash website, they can see the 'Flash
    Detection - Download Flash
    Player from Adobe' prompt but they could not install the
    downloaded Flash Player
    as they got an error something like ' You don't have
    privilages . Please contact your
    Admin.'
    Is there any way to solve this issue?
    PS. Sorry for the 2x posts.

    But is there a way to embed Flash Player in it so that it's
    easier for
    them - what I meant was the trouble to inform their admin
    just for
    this.

    IS THERE ANY WAY TO EMBED LINKS INTO THE FILE YOU ARE WORKING ON?

    Ha! Perfectly classic case of XY problem! Pointed out by Jongware in some other thread recently - couldn't find an exact link right now...
    In short:
        User wants to do X.
        User doesn't know how to do X, but thinks he can fumble his way to a solution if he can just manage to do Y.
        User doesn't know how to do Y either.
        User asks for help with Y.
        Others try to help user with Y, but are confused because Y seems like a strange problem to want to solve.
        After much interaction and wasted time, it finally becomes clear that the user really wants help with X, and that Y wasn't even a suitable solution for X.
    Maybe it worth to add to a list of tips and best practices of the forum:

  • Is there a way to transfer or copy all my apps to another iPad with a different account? I was required in my job to use the one at work, but I would like to also see my current set ups and apps as in my personal one. Thank you so much!

    Is there a way to transfer or copy all my apps to another iPad with a different account? I was required in my job to use the one at work, but I would like to also see my current set ups and apps as in my personal one. Thank you so much!

    What I suggest is that you try to pair your apple ID with you company ipad and see if it works.
    Here is why::
    I believe that the Apple rules let you. They are something like:
    -- for a shared iDevice, you may put the app on one device
    -- for a device you use exclisively, you may put the app on five (or some number) of iDevices
    I'm not lawyer, so how you interpred this is a question.
    Now, you need to figure out how to do this.
    In the past at least, apple used this terminalogy.
        Personal
        Institution
        Layered. combines personal & institution.
    It depends on how your company has configured the iPad.
    I have read where you can have upto three apple id per device.
