About
About the Book
This book is for experienced .NET developers who want to start working with Episerver Commerce, or Episerver Commerce developers who want to deepen their knowledge. I aim to provide a depth view of internal implementation of Commerce, how things work, why things are the way they are, how you can use API:s to create working eCommerce solutions, and ultimately, how to use the knowledge in the book to make those solutions better.
The draft is completed, however the book can be revised here and there to improve the content, and/or to update with the latest changes in Episerver Commerce. Topics discussed in the book:
Part 1: Catalog System
Part 1.1 Important concepts.
Part 2: Inventories and Prices
Part 3: The order system - selling is what (really) matters
Part 4: Events - Listen and react
Part 5: Search
Part 6: Promotions - Everybody loves discounts.
Part 7: Business Foundation
Part 8: Extending the system
Chapter 1 can be read/downloaded for free.
