What Are the Predefined Commerce Server Pipelines?

  • Article

For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.

Commerce Server 2007 includes a default set of predefined pipelines. These pipelines can be modified to suit your needs or used as is. Each predefined Commerce Server 2007 pipeline falls into one of these three categories:

  • Content Selection Pipeline (CSP) - Selects content for targeted advertisements and discounts.

  • DirectMailer - Processes lists of recipients for direct mailings.

  • Order Processing Pipeline (OPP) - Processes shopping baskets to perform operations such as discount, shipping, tax calculations, and to complete purchase (checkout) transactions.

By default, the following pipelines are installed.
