The Interactive Marchitecture tool allows you to simulate the store architecture interactively by choosing which services and add-ons will be used, along with third-party providers for integrations. For reference, see types of architectures for specific scenarios in our Store architecture guide.

When you open the Interactive Marchitecture tool, you first have to choose the desired region to plan the store architecture. The region selection defines the available partners for third-party integrations.

The tool displays all the services, add-ons, and integrations described in the VTEX Composable Components guide. You can identify each component type by its color:

• Services: Hot pink boxes.
• Add-ons: Light pink boxes.
• Integrations: Dark blue boxes.
• Platform interaction tools: Light blue boxes.

You can enable and disable services, add-ons, User Admin functionalities, and Developer Tooling by clicking on them. If you click twice on an add-on, it opens a pop-up with a video explaining that add-on.

When you click on one type of integration, e.g., carriers, it opens a pop-up with the available partners for that type of integration and the selected region and you can choose up to four partners. Then, you can click on the X in the top-right corner to close the pop-up.
