User Testimonials
	Commerce Layer	HotWax Commerce
Likelihood to Recommend	Commerce Layer Commerce Layer is a great choice, if you want to build a tailored system. The flexible API allows to build all kinds of applications around commerce, but you also need to deep dive a bit into the structure. If you want to set up a simple store and sell a few SKUs, you're probably rather a Shopify customer, but if you want to build great customer experiences and tailer the software to your business, Commerce Layer is a very good choice.

Pros	Commerce Layer Flexibility True headless (based on MACH principles) Integrated sales/shipments solution Seamless integration (extensive API, webhooks, etc.) Incentivized Elian Kool CTO Read full review	HotWax Commerce No answers on this topic
Cons	Commerce Layer Specific POS features are on the roadmap (we're using now a market per store, which works but creates some issues with it) Payment flexibility (as we're using it fully as a POS solution) Flexibility in order editing after approval of order Incentivized Elian Kool CTO Read full review	HotWax Commerce No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	Commerce Layer Commerce Layer is at the core of our operations Incentivized Elian Kool CTO Read full review	HotWax Commerce No answers on this topic
Usability	Commerce Layer The new apps are great, but in our case, we built so specific functionalities around it that we built our own admin tool. Based on the complexity (especially for after sales processes), no off the shelf tool would have been able to do this.

Support Rating	Commerce Layer We're in regular contact with Commerce Layer and regularly also discuss issues directly with the tech team Incentivized Elian Kool CTO Read full review	HotWax Commerce No answers on this topic
Implementation Rating	Commerce Layer The Commerce Layer data model is very flexible, which also creates a certain complexity. It's important to understand how the data model works and how relationships between them are built. Incentivized Elian Kool CTO Read full review	HotWax Commerce No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Commerce Layer Real headless solution, fully SaaS. In comparison to all other solutions, Commerce Layer has an integrated order management which is lean, but very flexible. With all other solutions, we would have needed a separate OMS which would have increased both the complexity and the cost of the solution.

Return on Investment	Commerce Layer Reduction of support staff by 2/3 as we could implement a full self-service solution 1-2 days faster delivery of glasses to customers due to automated lens ordering (built into Commerce Layer) Incentivized Elian Kool CTO Read full review	HotWax Commerce No answers on this topic
