Flows Service Introduction
With flows you can extend the capabilities of Commerce and Product Experience Manager at both organization and store level, and apply Composable Commerce to almost any use case.
Flows in Commerce
You can define custom data fields for the resources that you use in your store or organization, such as adding more fields to the customer
resource.
You can also create new resources, such as a wishlist
resource to support wishlists in your store.
note
Custom APIs are the next generation of Non-Core Flows. Flows are not going anywhere, but Custom APIs offer enhanced capabilities. We recommend using Custom APIs for any of your new use cases.
caution
- In an organization, not all resources are available. See Extend a resource for a list of organization resources that can be extended.
- If you store any sensitive Personal Identifiable Information (PII) or non-public data on your site, ensure that you do not use this data in flows to avoid potential unauthorized access to the data. For more information, see Permissions.
Templates in Product Experience Manager
Templates allow you to attach a specific set of attributes to your products.
- You can use templates to define characteristics of your product, for example, a product specification. For example, a Book template might contain attributes, such as ISBN, Author, Number of pages, Year Published, or Condition (New/Used).
- You can use templates for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). When you assign template attributes such as, care instructions or fabric, to a shirt and a shopper searches for a specific item, attributes help stores to return the products that match the search criteria. For example, when a shopper searches for a large blue shirt, all shirts that are large and blue are returned in the search result.
