What Broadleaf Commerce is
Broadleaf Commerce is a composable commerce platform built on Java and Spring Boot microservices for catalog, cart, checkout, pricing, promotions, fulfillment, and order management. Organizations can adopt, replace, or extend services individually, and connect a decoupled storefront through RESTful APIs and webhooks. It supports B2B, B2C, marketplace, and B2B2C models, with distinct catalogs, pricing, and customer experiences by channel. B2B tools include account hierarchies, approval workflows, contract pricing, quote negotiation, bulk ordering, and customer-specific catalogs. Business users can manage catalogs, pricing rules, promotions, and product placement in the admin console. Connections are available for ERP, PIM, OMS, payment gateways, search providers, and tax services. Deployment options include AWS, Azure, GCP, on-premises, hybrid environments, and managed PaaS; customers can also self-host on bare metal, virtual machines, Docker, or Kubernetes. Broadleaf states that it is SOC 2 and PCI compliant and designed to minimize PCI scope. A free trial is available to explore the source code, APIs, and admin console, with no duration specified. Pricing is on request.
