Setting up your xC development environment

You run the xC development environment on a local server. There are several prerequisites to setting up the environment, however you have the flexibility to use your own IDE as long as you are able to create Spring Boot components.

You create an xC customization by writting code with your favorite IDE, then building and testing it locally. Once the code is working, you package it and deploy the package extension into the Commerce Cloud Enterprise xC server.
