Integrated Intershop BFF
Secure sessions, ICM API normalisation, validation and controlled integration points.
Intershop accelerator
The storefront foundation that connects business and technology.
A clear architecture between the browser, the BFF and Intershop Commerce Management, with commerce capabilities ready to adapt.
Intershop Ready
Designed for real projects.
The foundation covers merchant journeys, B2B requirements and the non-functional needs that too often arrive at the end.
Broad commerce coverage
Catalog, search, basket, checkout, account, CMS, ratings, wishlists and notifications.
B2B capabilities
Quotes, OCI/cXML punchout, order templates, approvals, roles, budgets and cost centres.
Web quality
SEO, structured data, internationalisation, accessibility, security and PWA.
Agentic commerce
Ready for AI agents and the Universal Commerce Protocol.
Beyond human journeys, the accelerator exposes a surface built for AI shopping agents - aligned with Google's Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) and enabled behind a feature flag.
Agentic checkout (UCP)
A REST /api/ucp surface aligned with the Universal Commerce Protocol, for AI-agent-driven purchases: validated sessions (Zod), idempotency, JWT verification, and a cookie-free ICM layer that creates real baskets and orders.
Agent-ready surface
The storefront publishes /llms.txt and Markdown mirrors of product pages, categories and CMS pages, a read-only MCP server (/api/mcp) with its catalogue tools and agent-skills discovery (/.well-known/agent-skills), plus /openapi.json and /.well-known/api-catalog - so agents can discover the catalogue, call tools and explore the API.
Opt-in and controlled
Off by default behind a feature flag: you open it when your agentic-commerce strategy is ready, without affecting the existing storefront.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does the IntershopReady accelerator include?
A complete, customisable B2C/B2B storefront: catalogue, search, basket, checkout, accounts and B2B features, with built-in SEO, performance, accessibility, an offline PWA and agentic-commerce support.
What is a server-first architecture and a BFF?
Pages are server-rendered (SSR); only interactive components are hydrated. A BFF (Backend-for-Frontend) secures sessions in httpOnly cookies, normalises ICM responses and limits API exposure.
What is the supported agentic commerce?
The storefront exposes its catalogue and journeys in a structured way so they can be consumed by AI agents and assistants (search, compare, add to basket), alongside classic human use.
How does it connect to Intershop ICM?
Through the ICM REST APIs, consumed server-side via a single transport (locale, currency, per-resource headers). ICM remains responsible for catalogue, pricing, basket and checkout.
