Deployment patterns

Multiple deployment patterns are available to customers, depending on their needs and operating environments. The patterns can be used in multiple scenarios, including hybrid scenarios where you have a mix of patterns, a scenario where you can use multiple patterns in parallel, and more.

Cloud 1st

The first and most generic topology is the Cloud 1st Store Commerce. Though it is not highly involved in terms of deployment, it covers parts of the deployment such as installing the Store Commerce app, using a management system that oversees what your registers are doing, and determining what your databases look like. Cloud 1st Store Commerce includes a variety of peripherals that are connected directly. This pattern is one that is commonly used across the customer base, especially for customers who aren’t certain about how good their WAN connection is going to be in-store.

Store Commerce for web only

The following image shows the Store Commerce for web pattern. This pattern is beneficial for customers who tend to have network back up and the WAN connection is always available. To enable the proper functioning of this pattern and use Store Commerce web, you would have a separate hardware station unit in-store that connects to the peripherals and connects them all to the cloud, allowing Retail Server and Store Commerce web in the cloud acting as the base environment.
