The integration approach is based-on commercetools’ API Extensions, enabling access to Authorize.net plus services through commercetools in a flexible way. commercetools’ customers can choose to either self-host or make use of cloud provider services, such as serverless functions, to host the code invoked by commercetools. The extension is split into library services used to support the web-services needed for API Extension invocations and sample implementations of the web-services. The sample implementation makes uses of a lightweight Spring-boot application.
