commercetools vs. Rymera Wholesale Suite

Commercetools is generally a very flexible, smart platform for eCommerce business. It's an API enabled, cloud solution that makes integration seamless and quick to deploy. It's also a modern platform that utilizes API query languages like GraphQl. It lacks some functionalities in pricing and geographic variations of product portfolio but the platform is constantly improving and new functionalities are added.

This plugin is great for a growing business that needs to move away from taking orders manually, but is also fully functional and comprehensive for businesses with larger wholesale revenue streams

• Very good documentation
• Stabile and scalable Microservice-Architecture
• Cloud Native Platform

• Easy to use order form

• Pricing - Commercetools has pricing limitations with respect to customer/SKU combination. If an organization provides lots of custom/contract pricing for customers, Commercetools has difficulty mapping it in. They are working on this to make it more flexible.
• Geographic variations in product portfolio - Commercetools has central product master that doesn't provide product activation/enabling based on different geographies/elevation/sales office structures. Some creative mapping skills are needed to overcome this limitation.
• Data mapping limitations - Commercetools lacks in out of the box data mapping limitations to full fledged ERP platforms. Extensive data mapping workshops are necessary to fit the functionalities of an ERP platform from order, to delivery , to warehouse operations and billing.

After 6 years using the product, I never had any issue with the support. The team is always nice and knowledgeable.

I've tried several wholesale plugins and always cancelled my subscription and gotten our money back. This is the first wholesale plugin we've stuck with. It's so easy and functional

• Integrate the same APIs to different client facing solutions.
