AEM and Magento Integration Using Commerce Integration Framework(CIF) — Local Setup (Part2)

In my previous post on this series, we have discussed how to enable local Magento open source commerce platform on local.

This post discusses setting up a Venia sample store in a local AEM server and integrating AEM to a local Magento server to enable eCommerce functionalities.

AEM CIF Core components use both the server and client rendering to construct the eCommerce websites; the category and product-related components are entirely server-rendered at the same time transaction related — cart, checkout, order, and account management components are Server and Client rendered — the initial pages are generated from the server. Still, the functionalities are enabled through React client-rendered components(CIF enables the placeholder component to render the react component).
