Samples
Starter stores
A fully functional sample online store, provided in store archive format with WebSphere Commerce. Starter stores are samples designed to be used as a base from which a customized online store can be created. Starter stores are translated into several languages and support multiple Web browsers and platforms. Starter stores are fully accessible, with the exception of the Madisons mobile starter store. Accessibility guidelines for mobile devices are not well defined or well established.
Mobile starter stores
WebSphere Commerce provides optimized starter stores for mobile devices such as smart phones containing Web browsers. Mobile starter stores demonstrate best practices in mobile store development with WebSphere Commerce, and can act as a base for implementing mobile storefronts.
Smart phone and tablet starter stores
Smart phone and tablet starter stores provide rich storefronts for several mobile devices and platforms. They can be viewed on mobile devices using the mobile web, or deployed as native or hybrid applications.
Mobile applications
Mobile application starter stores are accessed as an app directly installed on smart phones or tablets. They are typically installed onto a device using a storefront provided by the mobile device vendor. Mobile applications provide enhanced functionality over the mobile Web storefront by using device-specific features such as a smart phone's contact list.
Mobile application flows
The mobile application flows include the mobile Web starter store flows, plus additional store pages that take advantage of device-specific functionality, such as a device's camera or microphone.
Voice search
The voice search page enables customers to lookup store products using a mobile device microphone. Customers can select the search button on the storefront and use the microphone feature to access voice search capabilities. The search results are automatically displayed for the voiced search terms once a recording is made.
