Creating online stores can be challenging when it comes to providing quotations. Obviously, they require a broader range of digital solutions. Payment gateways and ERP integrations are the things we know really well, but the powerful combination of Umbraco and Umbraco Commerce makes it now more convenient to put everything together.
Scalability, performance, and security - that's the holy trinity of every solid digital solution. With e-commerce solutions, you must also pay close attention to payment gateway integration, inventory management, excellent search functionality, and other third-party integration. Inheriting its incredible flexibility and customizability from Umbraco CMS, the new Umbraco Commerce product looks adept at handling all these crucial aspects.
Umbraco Commerce: Who is it for?
Umbraco Commerce is a long-awaited official e-commerce add-on for Umbraco websites. Whether you want to enhance your current setup or create something fresh, this flexible solution seamlessly integrates with your platform. It's crafted to meet a wide range of needs, from charming boutique web shops to robust online stores that handle multiple currencies.
Keep track of all your orders with visual aid
The e-commerce industry is based on trust. The ordered product does not arrive? You lose a customer forever. Ordered product arrives late? You're probably losing a customer for good too.
Whether you're running your store solo or with the support of a team, the key to its smooth functioning lies in intuitive order management. From what we've seen, Umbraco Commerce excels in this aspect by categorizing orders with color-coded status labels, enabling you to manage and search through them swiftly.

You want to know which products to showcase more prominently and to whom. You seek insights into pricing and marketing strategies that work best.
