By default, Commerce Cloud assigns catalogs and price groups to sites or, for account-based commerce, to accounts. However, you might want to override these default assignments with different catalogs and price groups for each registered shopper. For example, you can personalize the catalog and prices a shopper sees based on geographic location or level in a loyalty program.
To enable this, Oracle Commerce Cloud includes tools that you can use to build a custom integration with an external system that determines which catalog and price groups to assign to a shopper. You create a custom widget that makes a call to the external system to obtain the catalog and price lists to use. You configure a webhook that the widget invokes, sending information about the shopper’s context to the external system. The webhook also calls the external system to validate the order when it is placed.
