4.4. Integrate Third-Party Systems
In this chapter, you'll learn how to integrate a third-party system into Medusa.
How to Integrate a Third-Party System?#
To integrate a third-party system into Medusa, you:
- Implement the methods to interact with the system in a service. It can either be the main module's service, or an internal service in the module that's used by the main one.
- Implement in workflows custom features around the integration, such as sending data to the third-party system.
- Workflows roll-back mechanism ensures data consistency. This is essential as you integrate multiple systems into your application.
- Use the workflow in other resources to expose or utilize the custom functionality.
Next Chapters: Syncing Brands Example#
In the next chapters, you'll implement an example of syncing brands with a third-party system, such as a Content Management System (CMS).
That requires:
- Implementing the service that integrates the third-party system.
- Creating a brand in the third-party system when a brand is created in Medusa.
- Retrieving the brands from the third-party system to sync them with Medusa's brands at a scheduled interval.
