# Commerce Cloud B2C Shop Connector 2.1 - XML and Maven Support

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Although you can manually code a Mule app in XML, it is more efficient to use Anypoint Studio.

If you manually code a Mule runtime engine (Mule) app in XML either from the Anypoint Studio XML
editor or from a text editor, you can access the connector from your app by adding reference
statements to both your XML Mule flow and the Apache Maven `pom.xml` file.

When you add the connector in Studio, Studio automatically populates the XML code with the
connector’s namespace and schema location and it also adds a dependency to the `pom.xml` file.

## Add a Namespace for the Connector

Paste the following code inside the `mule` tag of the header of your configuration XML:

```xml
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/commerce-cloud-shopper-api
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/commerce-cloud-shopper-api/current/mule-commerce-cloud-shopper-api.xsd
```

This example shows how the namespace statements are placed in the XML:

```xml
<mule xmlns:http="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http"
      xmlns:commerce-cloud-shopper-api="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/commerce-cloud-shopper-api"
	  xmlns="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core"
      xmlns:doc="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/documentation"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core
      http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core/current/mule.xsd
      http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/commerce-cloud-shopper-api
      http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/commerce-cloud-shopper-api/current/mule-commerce-cloud-shopper-api.xsd
      http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http
      http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/http/current/mule-http.xsd">
</mule>
```

## Add a POM File Dependency

The Apache Maven `pom.xml` file generated by Anypoint Studio contains dependencies for a Mule app.
When you code a Mule app manually, include this XML snippet in your `pom.xml` file to enable access
to this connector:

```xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.mulesoft.connectors</groupId>
    <artifactId>commerce-cloud-shopperapi</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <classifier>mule-plugin</classifier>
</dependency>
```

Replace the contents of the `<version>` tag with the version that corresponds to the connector you
are using.

To obtain the most up-to-date `pom.xml` file information:

1.  Go to [Anypoint Exchange](https://www.mulesoft.com/exchange/).

2.  In Exchange, click **Login** and supply your Anypoint Platform username and password.

3.  In Exchange, search for `Commerce Cloud B2C Shop Connector`.

4.  Select the connector.

5.  Click **Dependency Snippets** near the upper right of the screen.

## Next Step

After completing your namespace and `pom.xml` file, you can try the
[Examples](https://docs.mulesoft.com/commerce-cloud-shop-api-connector/latest/shop-api-connector-examples).
