Question

we have centralized back office system and we keep all products information,recently our clients asked us to deploy website to them, so they can show their products on their websites , the clients have their own websites which developed on php or java or whatever , they don’t like to use Iframe to show their products because of some SEO problems in Iframe, We want to deploy our E-commerce website inside their website,We want to show our website inside HTML tag such as div,we don’t like to design and develop new website for any individual client, I am very interested to know your ideas , and any alternative solution.

Answer 1

So instead of focusing on developing a website that is embeddable, I would focus on one of two approaches: 1) Make web services/REST API, 2) Write a Javascript library.

Making a REST API

You can write web services (or a REST API) that a client could use to integrate into their site. This would expose your data/services/features to them. They would have to do a little programming of course to integrate with the services, but it’s an option.

Writing a Javascript library

You can write a Javascript library that will dynamically bring in data (calling web services of course that you host) and then you can take that data and place them into divs etc.

The advantage of this is that you can tell the client something like “just drop these 5 lines of code onto your page and it will do the rest.” It has a low barrier to entry for a client.
