The eCommerce solution is an addition to LS Central that meets the increasing demand for online shopping. This solution makes it possible to run a web store based on LS Central. The web store can be accessed from computers, tablets, and mobile phones. The eCommerce solution is composed of two parts, the standard LS Central and eCommerce. The latter solution supports the storefront presence, but LS Central handles all retail configuration and BackOffice functionality of the store.
The eCommerce functionality offers the management of in-store, mobile commerce, and online store systems. Offers can be presented online and in-store alike. LS Central master data, such as items, categories, contacts, discount offers, and more, are replicated and updated into the eCommerce database. Basket and pricing calculation is done by web services along with the order creation where sales orders and customer orders are created in LS Central.
The eCommerce solution is integrated with LS Central (version 11.x and upwards), providing an online retail platform for LS Central. It leverages the LS Central Member Management solution.
eCommerce supports multiple front-end eCommerce platforms such as Magento, Avensia Storefront, and Dynamicweb, all supporting various plugins, templates, and themes.
The eCommerce API is made available via Commerce Service.
