The following table describes settings you must configure to prepare your environment for storefront and catalog development.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
User profiles | Each person who works with the Oracle Commerce Cloud Service tools must have a valid user account to access the system. One default Administrator account is included with your Oracle Commerce Cloud Service instance, but an administrator must create additional profiles manually. For more information, see Configure User Accounts. |
Tax processing | You must have an active Avalara AvaTax account before your store goes live. To learn how to sign up for an account and configure it, go to http://www.avalara.com. To learn how to configure the AvaTax integration with Oracle Commerce Cloud Service, see Configure Tax Processing. |
Payment processing | Specify the countries from which your store accepts payments and the types of payments it accepts. Oracle Commerce Cloud Service includes integrations with several payment gateways. You must enable and configure one or more payment gateways to process shopper payments. See Configure Payment Processing for more information. |
Shipping | Specify the regions to which your store ships orders and create shipping methods that shoppers can pick from during checkout. For more information, see Configure Shipping. |
Webhooks | Webhooks send JSON notifications to URLs you specify each time an action occurs, for example, each time a shopper successfully submits an order. External systems can implement the Oracle Commerce Cloud Service API to process the results of a hook callback request. For more information, see Configure Webhooks. |
