When you sign up for the commercetools 60-day trial, not only will you have the ability to build and create your own state-of-the-art commerce solution for any customer touchpoint, but you’ll also be able to achieve a POC (proof of concept) within the duration of the trial, completely free of charge.

Build your POC in 60 days with our commercetools trial

If achieving a POC within the duration of a free trial sounds too good to be true, then please allow us to blow your mind: it’s not. In fact, it’s not only possible, but extremely probable – in 80% of all of our sales cycles, a POC is achieved within the allocated 60 days of the trial period. Right from the beginning of the trial, you’ll have the ability to begin developing a POC, as well as an MVP (minimum viable product), resulting in a head start in your migration journey.

What are the benefits of using our trial for a POC?

Why should you create a POC during the commercetools 60-day trial? The answer is easy: after you finish building a POC for free during the trial, you can hit the ground running as soon as you sign a contract to partner up with commercetools. In other words, the trial can be quickly and easily converted into a real project that’s ready to go online right from the start of your contract. This saves you money as no costs are incurred to set up your project pre-contract, and time due to the fact that there is minimal downtime.
