27 Integrate with an External Pricing System

By default, Oracle Commerce stores prices for products and SKUs internally in price lists. When a shopper browses products on your storefront, the internal price is displayed for each product, and this price is applied to the product when it is added to the shopping cart.

Some stores, however, may need to access prices that are maintained in an external system. To enable this, Oracle Commerce includes tools that you can use to build a custom integration with an external pricing system. You create a custom widget that makes a call to the external pricing system to obtain the price of an item when it is added to the shopping cart. You also configure a webhook that calls the external pricing system to validate the prices when the shopper checks out.
