commercetools

commercetools can be seen as a pioneer in the field of microservices. These include all e-commerce functionalities, such as PIM, cart and order management, marketing and promotions, payments and internationalization. A flexible and fast API connects these services to all relevant frontends and applications such as webshops, mobile apps, voice, AR/VR applications, and social networks. The following four themes are central to the choice of commercial tools:

Microservices

Functionality is developed in a modular way in which each function can be used and developed separately.

API first principle

More than 300 APIs unlock all kinds of functionalities one could desire.

Cloud-Native

 commercetools runs entirely in the cloud, guaranteeing IT performance, scalability, and security.

Headless

The focus of commercetools is on creating the functional commerce building blocks for your webshop.
