Customization - Global-e Docs

Global-e cartridges follow SFCC LINK partner guidelines: install int_globale plus a storefront extension without modifying app_storefront_base. Global-e does not recommend editing int_globale directly. Extend behavior in int_globale_sfra, int_globale_sitegenesis, or your brand cartridge using the same patterns as SFRA/SiteGenesis overrides (copy or superModule extend controllers, models, templates, and client JS).

Extension cartridge rules

If you customize a controller, model, or template from int_globale, copy or extend it in int_globale_sfra / int_globale_sitegenesis (or your brand cartridge) and keep changes out of core. Some int_globale_sitegenesis templates override SiteGenesis core and hardcode cartridge IDs (for example importScript('app_storefront_core:catalog/libCompareList.ds')). Update those IDs to match your project’s core cartridge when needed. After installation, align existing brand logic with Global-e using either approach:

Customize scripts and templates in int_globale_sfra or int_globale_sitegenesis, or
Move overrides into your brand cartridge.

Hiding non-applicable elements

Hide domestic-only UI for Global-e operated countries by checking session or app context. Example from int_globale_sfra/cartridge/templates/default/cart/cartShippingMethodSelection.isml (shipping methods do not apply to Global-e checkout):

<isset name="geAppContext" value="${require('*/cartridge/scripts/factories/globale/geAppContextMgr').getAppContext()}" scope="page"/>
<isif condition="${!geAppContext.country.isOperated()}">
    <div class="col-12">
        ...
    </div>
</isif>

Equivalent check using session attribute geIsOperated:

<isset name="globaleSession" value="${require('*/cartridge/models/globale/session')}" scope="page"/>
<isif condition="${!globaleSession.get('geIsOperated')}">
    <!-- domestic-only block -->
</isif>

Common elements to hide for Global-e customers:

Domestic shipping methods on the cart page
PayPal or other domestic payment methods on the cart page
In-store pickup
Domestic customer service contact information
