That's a loaded question that really requires someone with knowledge of the ecommerce implementation to architect. The short answer: build a set of API endpoints to/from both applications where necessary.

You *shouldn't* have any issues running multiple applications on the same host but it would be smarter to decouple the different applications and build a bridge between them.
