Hi @kautuk_sahni ,

As per the https://www.hlx.live/docs/faq, we can integrate Franklin with payment services such as Stripe or Square to build and run e-commerce sites.

Would you be able to share some links which can be referred to, for the above mentioned integration.

Also, please do share any other reference documentation which elaborates on how ecommerce integation can be done on Project Franklin.

Thanks

Hi @kautuk_sahni,

Right now it appears Franklin is supported using a browser extension that is outside of the Adobe Experience Cloud ecosystem. Do you know what is the roadmap with Franklin? Is it planned to be incorporated within the AEM landscape? Are there any practical use cases where content created using Franklin can be managed using AEM capabilities?

@kunalm I would recommend watching announcements at the Summit 2023. It is around the corner, you would have some clear vision around it. HTH

@kautuk_sahni 

I have migrated a small website in Franklin and I'm learning it deeply.

I have one query,

I just want to check how we can play with (Dam) assist in Franklin.

Suppose, I need add any image from my DAM to farinklin document how I can do it  or manually I need to copy the path on page?

How I can drag and drop the image from DAM?

Do I need to add any plugin on browser/project so after that kind of sidekick modal will apaer on document and using that I can add the image?

I sincerely appreciate your help and suggestion.

Thanks

@kunalm  I have exactly the same doubts as yours , did you get any clarity on how can we use franklin blocks in AEM and viceversa?

@kautuk_sahni @Abhishekty Below are the images where I created a folder and provide access to helix@adobe.com.
Also, created index, nav and footer documents within this. These documents are also got shared by default with helix@adobe.com

I configure helix sidekick extension in my chrome. But, somehow I am not able to see Add to Side Kick option.
Though I am able to see Add To Sidekick for the OOTB shared content drive. 

Not able to see Add to Side Kick option. Please suggest !!!

For OOTB I am able to see. But, above for custom not seeing same options.

Hi,

If you left-click your sidekick on either google drive or the published page, does it appear? If you see it in your Google Drive, you should be able to select the files and preview / publish them.
