commercetools

commercetools is a headless commerce engine, but it offers no API to publish blog posts as a blog. Sorank still gives you a fully automated SEO blog on your own domain.

Why commercetools needs a hosted blog

The commercetools API is built around products, carts, orders and customers, not editorial blog publishing. There is no native blog endpoint to push an article into, so instead of building a custom content pipeline, you let Sorank host the blog for you.

The simple route: host your blog on Sorank

Sorank publishes and hosts your articles on your own subdomain, for example blog.yourdomain.com, linked from your commercetools storefront. Every post strengthens your domain authority.

  1. In Sorank, go to Settings > Integrations and open Manage my blog.
  2. Click Activate my blog.
  3. Add the CNAME and TXT DNS records at your domain provider, then verify.

Full walkthrough: Host your blog on Sorank.

Link it from your commercetools site

Add a Blog link in your storefront navigation pointing to your hosted blog subdomain. Visitors move smoothly between your storefront and your blog, and Google indexes both under your domain.

Frequently asked questions

Do I keep my content if I leave? Yes. Export your whole blog any time and re-import it elsewhere. Your content is always yours.

Does the hosted blog cost extra? No, it is included in your Sorank subscription.
