2.3.8 Messaging subsystem
The Messaging system provides WebSphere Commerce with the ability to
communicate externally. This communication includes sending messages to and
receiving messages from back-end systems or external systems, as well as
sending notification to customers and administrators that events have occurred
within WebSphere Commerce. This is accomplished through two subsystems: an
inbound system that manages inbound messages coming from back-end and
external systems, and an outbound messaging system that allows you to send
notification to users as well as outbound messages to back-end systems and
external systems.

For example, you can set up the messaging system to send e-mail messages
notifying your customers that their orders have been shipped. The messaging
system provides a mechanism for integrating WebSphere Commerce with
back-end systems. You can configure WebSphere Commerce to send an
outbound message to a back-end system whenever an order is created at your
store. This order information can be used by the back-end system to do
necessary order fulfillment processing. The back-end system can later send
order status messages back to WebSphere Commerce indicating that order
delivery has taken place or an order invoice has been issued. E-mail can also be
sent to update the customer.
