Posted by Kristoferon 2020-04-142025-04-28in Developer Guide, Integrations, Plugins

Most online applications work together with other systems and solutions to help users design and customize products online. Therefore they almost always have to be connected to a homepage, e-commerce, ERP, customer portals and similar to do their intended work.
