Integrating functionality from the Kentico Marketplace

The Kentico Marketplace, the official Kentico community feature sharing portal, offers a wide range of third-party features recommended for use with Kentico.

Typical examples of E-commerce add-ons are payment gateways, shipping providers, connectors for tax calculation services, etc. See the E-commerce section of the Kentico Marketplace⁠ (opens in a new tab).

Integrating your custom functionality

  • For example, you can add your custom applications, templates, web parts, etc. You can also create your custom payment gateways, as described in detail in Creating a custom payment gateway, or your custom shipping provider, as described in detail in Implementing custom shipping carrier providers.
• You can integrate other third party functionality.
  • The system allows you to add third party features using, for example, the built-in integration bus or REST service.
