Introduction
A Commerce System Administrator (refer to ‘Commerce User Management’ for additional information), is able to configure the Commerce application theme and brand the application (using corporate logos, descriptions), configure screens, decide which filters to offer, embed additional links, and more.

Header
For extending the header navigation bar, refer to 'Manage Header Navigation' for additional information.
The header navigation allows you to customize navigational links in Commerce. External applications can also be embedded using iFrames by completing the following steps:
- Click on 'Add' to create a new navigation entry and use the localization feature to provide a name for the entry itself:
- Inside the newly created entry, the administrator can decide whether upon clicking the link the user should be taken to 1) a URL (inside the current or in a new browser tab; iFrame toggle switch 'no / false') or 2) a new page with an embedded application (iFrame toggle switch 'yes / true'):
- For embedded iFrames, the mode and dimensions control the size of the iFrame which will hold the embedded application. Available options are
- Fill
- Centered
- Left Aligned
- Right Aligned
- The URL parameter defines the link to the site / application that should be embedded or that the user should be taken to (i.e. when the iFrame toggle switch is set to 'no / false').
These sequence of how they appear in the navigation bar can be altered by dragging and dropping the respective lines:
The labels can be changed and localized by clicking on the respective button as shown in the screenshot below:
You will then be brought to a localisation window as shown in the screenshot below:
