What is AEM EDS Solution for External SAP Commerce Integration

[sameryadav]

Hi Team,

One of our clients wants to migrate their current on-prem website to AEM EDS and is currently using SAP Commerce integrated with their website.

We want to use the EDS solution for product data from SAP and cannot use client-side calls for product data due to SEO reasons. Since importing product data into AEM Cloud (under /var/commerce/product) is not an option, then what are the possible workarounds for this use case?

Thanks

Hi @sameryadav 

For AEM EDS + SAP Commerce, Adobe’s recommended pattern is:

Use a backend integration layer (e.g., Adobe I/O Runtime or App Builder service) to prefetch SAP Commerce product data and inject it into the HTML content during Edge Delivery build or delivery.

This ensures:

No client-side calls for product data

SEO-friendly HTML rendering

Data consistency without duplicating content in AEM repository

Hope this helpful:)

Regards,

Karishma.

hi @sameryadav,

here you can find a super interesting article about the automatic publishing of product pages directly from the commerce backend by leveraging Bring Your Own Markup feature.

Thanks for quick response.

We understand the adobe I/O runtime portion to build as middleware to read the commerce data but how we can it be inject in AEM EDS html . I mean how EDS will call the data from middleware keeping SEO friendly?

Thanks
