Web-up
This Application pattern maps a three-tier commerce application with deferred access to third tier, allowing for one or more point-to-point connections to back-end legacy applications or databases so that the e-commerce applications can be integrated with existing systems (for example, inventory management). Examples of this Application pattern typically involve some form of deferred interaction with the back-end processing of orders.

Enterprise-out
This Application pattern designs a three-tier commerce application with online access to third tier, the target solution design for organizations wanting to use their existing enterprise systems to allow customers to make purchases through the Web. The shopping experience is achieved through middle-tier application logic. The pattern provides the ability to use some form of middleware to access enterprise systems on the third tier and supports access to back-end fulfillment systems that perform functions such as inventory, order management, pricing, shipping, tax calculation, and credit processing
