Platform Bindings

Platform Bindings is a feature that allows developers to extend and customize the Fynd Commerce functions by integrating additional features through Extensions.

Platform Slot Bindings

It provides predefined slots or placeholders in the Fynd Commerce UI where custom content or functions can be injected, enabling seamless extension integration without altering the core platform code. Fynd Commerce dynamically loads extension-provided content or functionality into the appropriate slots as users interact with the platform, facilitating a highly customized UX.
When an extension is installed in the Fynd Commerce, it registers its functionality to specific slots. Platform Slot Bindings ensures that the extension's content or function is displayed in the required location within the Fynd Commerce UI.
For example, a developer can create a custom widget for blocked order updates, such as a sales summary or analytics chart, and bind it to a dashboard slot, offering additional insights to users.
