Cart Composability
Compositional microservices such as Broadleaf’s Cart Operations have explicit dependencies built out of box, or you can build your own Compositional Services using our microservice-based framework. Broadleaf’s Cart Operations include dependencies on:
- Catalog in order to take in SKU and associated product data
- Pricing to ensure all aspects of price lists, geographic and contract pricing are considered
- Offers in managing promos at a segment or individual level, leveraging a rich rule set
- Campaigns to ensure marketing tracking and management
- Cart for housing all of a customer’s item in their basket
Checkout Customizations
Start with Broadleaf’s best practice checkout flow, and then make it your own. Every part of our microservice-based framework is extensible, supporting a wide range of checkout options such as:
- Single or multi-page, accordion-style or multi-step, even separate desktop vs. mobile checkout flows - any UX is possible
- Marketing messages and recommendations to further up- and cross-sell a customer at checkout through Broadleaf’s robust APIs
- Customer and account-specific rules and options for the most demanding account hierarchy, contract and personalization requirements
Performant Scalability
Broadleaf Microservices allow you to containerize and deploy how you want - so auto-scaling separate Cart and Checkout services to scale for Black Friday can be handled in season, while a combined container and database can be leveraged for ongoing operations. Further infrastructure options allow for additional benefits including:
- Increase speed-to-market with cloud-native and cloud-agnostic microservices
- Increase infrastructure spending flexibility across your chosen deployment
- Increase stability by leveraging modern business continuity and disaster recovery planning
- Better manage risk both now and in the future on your own terms
