Understand page tags

Oracle Commerce lets you create page tags and embed them in each page on a site. Business users can create, manage, and decide where to place tags without the need for a developer to make code changes to the storefront.

Page tags are HTML <script> tags that are embedded in every storefront page. They let you add both Oracle and third-party plug-in services to your storefront. For example, you can use page tags to add analytics services, like Google Analytics, or A/B testing services, like Oracle Maxymiser Testing and Optimization.

Using page tags to embed content in storefront pages can improve performance vs. adding the content with global widgets.

Note that there is no need to configure CORS support in Commerce for page tags. Page tags allow the shopper's browser to make calls to other domains like Oracle Maxymiser when the browser is displaying content loaded from a Commerce domain. You only need to configure CORS support in Commerce when the shopper's browser accesses your Commerce site after displaying a page loaded from the external domain. You may, however, need to configure CORS support in the service whose plug-ins you are adding to your Commerce site.
