Gartner's perspective on the digital commerce market centres on revolutionary technologies that enhance customer buying journeys. According to Gartner, a digital commerce platform serves as the central technology that empowers customers to engage in interactive, often self-guided purchasing experiences. This involves furnishing essential information for well-considered choices and utilising rules and data to boost conversion.
Inclusion within Gartner's evaluation hinges on vendors' platforms featuring out-of-the-box (OOTB) capabilities or APIs to facilitate self-service, interactive commerce encounters encompassing storefronts, product catalogues, shopping carts, checkouts, and customer accounts. Such platforms must also enable product searches, cart additions, comprehensive order pricing, and discounts. As a dedicated commercetools partner, we explore these insights further and discover their relevance for your business.
