Liferay Commerce

What Liferay Commerce is

Liferay Commerce is a platform for building, running, and scaling online stores for B2B and B2C businesses. It supports multichannel selling and digital products, and includes an app marketplace. For B2B purchases, businesses can configure accounts with multiple buyers, negotiated prices, custom catalogs, and approval workflows. Catalogs and pricing can vary by account, with price tiers, promotions, and discounts. Product information tools cover descriptions, images, videos, attributes, hierarchies, and product relationships. The product page describes AI recommendations shaped by a user’s role, history, and previous purchases.

APIs and connectors link commerce functions with ERP, CRM, procurement, order management, shipping, and accounting systems. Headless commerce can carry catalog, pricing, order, and inventory logic into existing portals, apps, and dealer experiences. Liferay DXP is available as SaaS, PaaS, or self-hosted, including on-premises or customer-cloud deployment. The free tier provides the core platform for exploration, development, and pre-production. Enterprise subscriptions add professional support and SLAs; pricing depends on deployment model and implementation scope. Liferay Commerce was founded in 2004 and is headquartered in Diamond Bar, California.
