Solace x Virto Commerce
Enterprises building event-driven architectures with Solace PubSub+ need commerce events from Virto to flow into that event mesh alongside data from ERP, WMS, CRM, and other operational systems. When an order is placed, inventory changes, or a catalog updates in Virto, those events can be published to the Solace event mesh, where connected systems react in real time regardless of where they run, cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.
About Solace
Solace PubSub+ Platform is an enterprise event streaming and management platform used by organizations to design, deploy, and manage event-driven architectures across hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, and IoT environments. Its event broker forms an event mesh, an interconnected network of brokers that intelligently routes events across distributed enterprise environments using open protocols including AMQP, JMS, MQTT, REST, and WebSocket.
How Virto Integrates with Solace
Virto Commerce connects to Solace by publishing commerce events to the Solace event mesh through its webhooks or Event Bus module. Solace then routes those events to subscribing systems across the enterprise, with topic-based filtering ensuring each system receives only the events relevant to it.
Because Solace supports open protocols including REST and AMQP, Virto’s API-first architecture can publish events to the Solace broker using standard integration patterns without requiring Solace-specific connector development.
The integration approach generally covers:
- Commerce events from Virto published to Solace topics when orders, inventory changes, or catalog updates occur
- Solace routing those events to subscribing systems across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments
- Topic-based filtering ensuring each connected system receives only the events it needs
- Virto’s REST APIs used by Solace-connected systems to read or update commerce data as part of broader workflows
- Client-owned business logic and orchestration maintained in the event mesh rather than in the commerce platform
Note: There is no pre-built Solace connector specifically for Virto Commerce. The integration is built through Virto’s APIs and webhooks alongside Solace’s open protocol support. Speak with a solution partner to scope the right approach for your implementation.
Implementation Approach
Virto Commerce integrates with enterprise systems through a combination of APIs, middleware, and integration accelerators — designed to reduce implementation effort while preserving the flexibility that enterprise-specific workflows require.
Key considerations: which Solace deployment model is in use, cloud service, software, or hardware appliance, which Virto commerce events need to flow into the event mesh, how topics should be structured for Virto events, and which downstream systems subscribe to which commerce event types.
Use Cases
Publishing Virto order events to an enterprise event mesh
When a buyer places an order in Virto, multiple downstream systems need to react simultaneously: ERP, WMS, CRM, and notification services. Publishing that order event to the Solace event mesh means each subscriber reacts independently as the event arrives, without Virto needing to manage a direct connection to each system.
A single order event from Virto triggers reactions across connected systems through the Solace event mesh, with each system consuming only what it needs without direct coupling to commerce.
Streaming commerce events to systems across cloud and on-premises environments
Enterprises running systems across multiple environments need commerce events from Virto to reach all of them without building separate integration paths per environment. Solace’s event mesh routes events dynamically across cloud, on-premises, and edge deployments from a single publish point in Virto.
Commerce events from Virto reach all connected systems regardless of where they run, through the same event mesh routing that handles other enterprise data flows.
Integrating Virto with a Kafka-based event streaming environment through Solace
Enterprises running Kafka for high-throughput event streaming alongside Solace for broader enterprise messaging can use Solace’s Kafka integration to bridge Virto commerce events into Kafka topics, making commerce data available to Kafka consumers without a separate Kafka integration from Virto.
Virto commerce events flow into Kafka-based pipelines through Solace, without requiring a direct Virto-to-Kafka integration alongside the existing Solace infrastructure.
