Commerce Tools: The Go-To solution for modern commerce platforms

Globally e-commerce has seen a big surge since the early days of covid-19 but it might have been observing a bit of slump since then. However, trends suggest that e-commerce still has plenty of room to grow with global revenue in the e-commerce market projected to cross US$4.11tn in 2023 and which could further touch US$5.5tn by 2025. As e-commerce continues to grow at a rapid pace, it’s more important than ever for businesses to choose the right platform to power their online stores. So if you’re looking for a versatile and scalable e-commerce platform which is future proof as well, then you might have already considered commercetools in your list of options and if not then it definitely should be.

Commercetools is an e-commerce platform that has been gaining a lot of popularity among businesses of all sizes, and for good reason. As a microservices, API-driven, cloud-based, and headless (MACH) architecture based commerce platform, Commercetools offers businesses the flexibility, speed, and reliability they need to power their online stores. In this blog post, we’ll explore the top 10 reasons why Commercetools is among the best commerce platforms available, and how it can benefit your business.

1. Scalability

Commercetools can handle volume of traffic and transactions, making it ideal for businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re a small startup or a large enterprise, Commercetools can scale with your business as it grows.

2. Flexibility

Commercetools is highly flexible, allowing businesses to have customizations and integrations implemented for their online store to meet their specific needs. Commercetools technical capabilities like channels, custom fields/types, custom data, states and workflows, API extensions, subscriptions, merchant center extensions etc. can help companies to adapt the platform to suit their business requirements and implement complex use cases.

3. API-driven

Commercetools is API-driven, which means it can easily integrate with other systems and technologies, such as order management systems, content management systems, payment service providers, marketing automation tools, PIM, commerce search engines, ERP and many more to seamlessly integrate your business processes.

4. Cloud-based

Commercetools is a cloud-based platform, which means it offers high levels of security, scalability, and performance, without the need for businesses to invest in expensive infrastructure and without typical operational concerns. Commercetools platform is offered over AWS and GCP and is available under multiple availability regions on these two cloud providers. So it is easy to integrate with various other cloud services being offered by AWS and GCP. But this doesn’t mean that businesses will be restricted to these two cloud providers only. With its flexible extensibility features, commercetools can be integrated to other cloud services as well with the same ease, for example, Azure.

5. Headless Architecture

Commercetools is built on a headless architecture, which allows businesses to easily decouple their front-end and back-end system and easily integrate different heads as may be needed. With headless and API first approach, we actually no longer customize the commerce platform like the case was with monolithic commerce platforms but we build services and solutions around the platform now and there are different ways by which the developed services and solutions can be glued with the core platform capabilities.

6. Multi-channel Support

With its headless and API based architecture, commercetools can support multiple channels, including web, mobile, social media, kiosk and other smart devices – making it easy for businesses to reach their customers wherever they are.

7. Internationalization

Commercetools offers built-in support for multiple languages, currencies, shipping zones and tax rates, making it easy for businesses to sell their products globally. There are different geographies and physical store locations, inventory and product distribution channels that can be mimicked via the data model to truly represent a business with internationalization support.

8. Personalization

CommerceTools provides several features that can be used to create personalized shopping experiences for customers. With features like product recommendations (based on machine learning), dynamic pricing, customer segmentation, channels etc. you can create customized shopping experiences that are tailored to each customer’s interests, behavior, and preferences. These can further be augmented by using advanced search & product discovery platforms like Algolia, Attraqt, Bloomreach, ontstructocr.io, Lucidworks etc. which offer readily available commercetools integration via commercetools marketplace.

9. Analytics and Reporting

Businesses can utilize Commercetools provided tools to track important performance indicators such as conversion rates and revenue, among others and use them to gain insights into customer behavior and take necessary steps to improve the shopping experience. There are dashboard & reports that can be used by businesses to analyze order and sales data. These reports can help identify trends in customer behavior, such as which products are selling well, which channels are driving the most sales, and which promotions are most effective. Further integrations with a variety of third-party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics and Adobe Analytics etc., you can gain a more comprehensive view of customer behavior and improve the shopping experience across multiple channels and platforms, such as your website, mobile app, or social media channels.

10. Community support

Commercetools has a thriving community of developers and users, who offer support and resources to help businesses get the most out of the platform.
