Post setup tips of Sitecore Commerce on Azure

Sitecore official documentation provides how to setup your instance on Azure. After you follow the instructions, you would need a few key steps to complete your setup.

• Use postman to bootstrap and initialize the Commerce Engine:  Call bootstrap method ({{OpsApiHost}}/{{OpsApi}}/Bootstrap()) for your environments. You would need to get token first ({{SitecoreIdServerHost}}/connect/token)

• Creating a new webshop: When you create a new webshop from Sitecore content editor, a new domain is created automatically on your content management server. But you will need to add manually to your CD and Identity servers. Update Domain.config file under app_config > security folder as below.  

If you don’t add, you will get domain is missing error while customers sign in.

You also need to register your domain to BizFX server. 

Then, you will be able to see new domain while adding new customers in Sitecore Commerce panel.

• Configure product images: You created a new catalog and you are adding new sellable items to your catalog. Then, you would probably need to add images to your sellable items. There is a problem here. You add images to "Media Library" but you don't see any any result when you search for images you add.

The reason is there is a configuration that you need to define your folder in Sitecore core database. Switch to core database and go to item "/sitecore/system/Settings/Services/API Keys/CommerceMediaItemsODataAPIKey" and update the query. Register your folder inside Media Library. 

After you update the query, you should see the image when you search.
