Hello CommersToolers,What I am curious about is whether certaing CommerceTools features, such as “cart” and “orders” for example could be used without the need for our product catalog being synced with CommerceTools? Does anyone have a clue? I’d appreciate any white paper, documentation reference or contact being shared with me.Kind reagards,Kalin.

Has anyone had success working with the new GraphQL SDK that CT has provided?https://commercetools.github.io/commercetools-dotnet-core-sdk-v2/docs/html/dc/da2/md_docs_2_graph_q_l.html I’ve looked at their tests in the source and I see them `using commercetools.Sdk.GraphQL.Api;`, however this doesn’t exist in the .NET SDK.I’m using .NET SDK v11.6 and .NET 8.

Hey community members,a while ago I wrote a blogpost about how we bootstrap our projects in presales. You can read the blogpost here: https://commercetools.com/blog/how-to-kickstart-your-commercetools-projects Just wanted to let you know that we have just released a new version of the code: https://github.com/commercetools/project-bootstrapThe repository contains a collection of all kind of commercetools APIs . So if you ever need to do anything with our APIs, it might be a good starting point. Currently the project contains actions to import, export and translate data.While the repository is part of the commercetools organization, you will not get official support for the code. It is really just some code to help you move quicker.

Following this documentation “https://docs.commercetools.com/merchant-center-customizations/custom-applications” I created custom application after running application page is redirected to merchant center login but my credential is getting failed on this page "https://mc.europe-west1.gcp.commercetools.com/login/authorize?reason=unauthorized&client_id=__local%3Astarter-0aa4b2&response_type=id_token&scope=openid%20project_key%3Acommerce-code%20view%3Aview_products%20manage%3Amanage_products&state=9d4920ab-3f4c-4d48-be85-6cd3ff2329e5&nonce=9d4920ab-3f4c-4d48-be85-6cd3ff2329e5".

Hi, My team has run into an issue where we have Commerce Tools orders that contain 12 + items in the cart. For certain geographical locations (e.g. USA) we need to perform 8 - 12 actions per line item in the order. This breaches existing Commerce Tools limitation of 100 actions in API extensions. Is there an option to increase this limit ? so that we dont run into this processing issue? Thanks Ivano 

Hey Team, I know the Merchant Center code base is based on React and my front-end is build with vue js, here my question is in this case how to use PHP SDK as a bridge between front-end and back-end.OR if we use PHP SDK as a connection what will be for front-end technology?

Recently, I needed to generate a token to log a customer into a web app based on Commercetools. Using the Java SDK to communicate with Commercetools, I found that their Authorization API offers several authorization flows: Client Credentials: Creates a token for an API Client. Password Flow: Creates a token using the customer's login credentials. Anonymous Session Flow: Creates a token for an anonymous session (for a customer who might log in or sign up later). Refresh Token Flow: Refreshes an access token. In this article, I'll focus on generating an authentication token using the Password Flow. Commercetools provides an out-of-the-box method called GlobalCustomerPasswordTokenSupplier for this purpose. Below is the code snippet I used in a service class to generate the token.   public static AuthenticationToken getTokenForGlobalCustomer(final String prefix, final String email, final String password) throws IOException { final Properties prop = new Properties(); prop.load

Hi, Is it possible to enable order editing in the Merchant Center? The use case I am looking at here is that some of our orders require vetting - our Customer Service team opens an order and checks if the right part (we are in auto spare parts business) was selected by the customer. In case it does not the vehicle, they remove it and replace it with a different part (SKU).I am researching an option to have this use case handled in Merchant Center - any thoughts anyone?(for the sake of this discussion I would leave the payment element complexity)

Hello! We would like to invite your thoughts on what makes you choose GraphQL over Rest API? Is it the idea of ability to pick required fields to query and receive a pre-defined result or is it about ability to query complex and interrelated data sources via one endpoint?Tip: commercetools allows you to query entities either via Rest or GraphQL API depending upon your specific use cases. Our GraphQL schema lets you determine query complexity when you design your application which helps you prevent any performance issues these GraphQL queries may add.  Please read more here

Hi Everyone,Just joined the community and will start by posting a question to which I guess we all know the answer, i.e “Is there a way we can copy entire Commercetools project content to another Commercetools Project?”I know the answer is No as of now, but is there any updates or any alternative wayout to attain the same ?
