Overview
A private plugin that separates the commerce domain from Base Shops API details. It provides a configurable layer for data mapping and synchronization within Medusa workflows.
Problem
Without a dedicated integration boundary, order, product and status mapping leaks into storefront logic, making failures, retries and evolution on either side difficult to manage.
Solution
A capability/handler architecture isolates API functions and transformations. Configuration, workflows and explicit synchronization boundaries allow each deployment to be adapted without copying integration logic into the store.
My role
I designed the plugin, handler contracts, commerce mappings, configuration, synchronization workflows, and error/retry strategy where supported by the implemented flow.
Architecture
Medusa 2's official plugin model wraps the Base Shops API client with capability adapters. Handlers translate domain data and workflows coordinate synchronization direction and timing with controlled error reporting.
Engineering challenges
Key decisions cover responsibility boundaries, stable identifier mapping, partial API failures and idempotent retries. Tests cover layers that can be verified without disclosing private deployment configuration.
Results and current status
The result is a reusable foundation for commercial Medusa 2 ↔ Base deployments, separated from historical store-specific experiments. Final scope is configured around the client's process; the source remains private.
