README

Composable commerce experiences require multiple modes of integration with the CMS. Acquia Commerce Framework (ACF) combines Drupal as the "glass" and a decoupled e-commerce platform to power the commerce engine. The optimal structure is composed of two different approaches:

1. Cacheable data imported into the CMS.

Example: product data is imported as content so site builders can manage it within the site..

1. Realtime data managed via clientside JS components.

Example: add to cart button sends the request to the ecommerce API, and the cart component is updated.

ACF is an open-source reference architecture that allows Drupal developers, Javascript developers, and site builders to create these experiences quickly.
